Book Description
Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) is a beautiful country with amazing people. I first went there during my senior year of medical school and spent three months at two mission hospitals. My wife Marilyn and I have always been interested in international mission service. After completion of my residency at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, Texas, we moved to Mashoko Christian Hospital in Zimbabwe where I became medical superintendent. Our daughters are Christine (Christy) age 2 and Julia who was 4 months. This was an amazing and memorable time in our lives. Unfortunately a war between the white, colonial government remnant after the British left and the black African population was heating up. This eventually affected our ministry and led to an earlier than planned departure. I returned to the United States and began my nearly 30-year career in Emergency Medicine at Bloomington Hospital in Bloomington, Indiana. My original partners had all served in Rhodesia as mission doctors. My call to medical missions continued, as I have been a part of 47 short-term medical mission outreaches mostly as team leader. Serving in this manner has been so fulfilling as I have seen God working around the world. My desire is that those who read this book will be inspired to serve and use whatever talent they have to honor God.

Book Description
If you’re looking for a book fluctuating from the mundane to the serious, from the frivolous to the tragic, as told by an American doctor serving in a “bush” hospital in Tanzania, this one is for you. Medical situations are depicted, but it’s much more than medical. It deals candidly with the cultural observations and experiences of the author in his beloved Third World hospital, village, and country. You’ll find the chapters vary from interesting, amazing, humorous, to sometimes hardly believable. The contrast with your First World is stark at times – not better or worse, right or wrong, just different. Laugh and cry with Dr. Black and his wife as you vicariously join them on their journey of service in Tanzania.

Book Description
Winner of the 2016 Lavinia Dock Award from the American Association for the History of Nursing Awarded first place in the 2016 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award in the History and Public Policy category The most dramatic growth of Christianity in the late twentieth century has occurred in Africa, where Catholic missions have played major roles. But these missions did more than simply convert Africans. Catholic sisters became heavily involved in the Church’s health services and eventually in relief and social justice efforts. In Into Africa, Barbra Mann Wall offers a transnational history that reveals how Catholic medical and nursing sisters established relationships between local and international groups, sparking an exchange of ideas that crossed national, religious, gender, and political boundaries. Both a nurse and a historian, Wall explores this intersection of religion, medicine, gender, race, and politics in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on the years following World War II, a period when European colonial rule was ending and Africans were building new governments, health care institutions, and education systems. She focuses specifically on hospitals, clinics, and schools of nursing in Ghana and Uganda run by the Medical Mission Sisters of Philadelphia; in Nigeria and Uganda by the Irish Medical Missionaries of Mary; in Tanzania by the Maryknoll Sisters of New York; and in Nigeria by a local Nigerian congregation. Wall shows how, although initially somewhat ethnocentric, the sisters gradually developed a deeper understanding of the diverse populations they served. In the process, their medical and nursing work intersected with critical social, political, and cultural debates that continue in Africa today: debates about the role of women in their local societies, the relationship of women to the nursing and medical professions and to the Catholic Church, the obligations countries have to provide care for their citizens, and the role of women in human rights. A groundbreaking contribution to the study of globalization and medicine, Into Africa highlights the importance of transnational partnerships, using the stories of these nuns to enhance the understanding of medical mission work and global change.

Book Description
Missionary medicine flourished during the period of high European imperialism, from the late-1800s to the 1960s. Although the figure of mission doctor – exemplified by David Livingstone and Albert Schweitzer – exercised a powerful influence on the Western imagination during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, few historians have examined the history of this important aspect of the missionary movement. This collection of articles on Asia and Africa uses the extensive archives that exist on medical missions to both enrich and challenge existing histories of the clinic in colonial territories – whether of the dispensary, the hospital, the maternity home or leprosy asylum. Some of the major themes addressed within include the attitude of different Christian denominations towards medical mission work, their differing theories and practices, how the missionaries were drawn into contentious local politics, and their attitude towards supernatural cures. Leprosy, often a feature of such work, is explored, as well as the ways in which local people perceived disease, healing and the missionaries themselves. Also discussed is the important contribution of women towards mission medical work. Healing Bodies, Saving Souls will be of interest not only to students and historians but also the wider reader as it aims to define the place of missionary within the overall history of medicine.
