Book excerpt: Here is the full story of one man’s adventures as he seeks out the poor and sick in China as a medical missionary, and who was still busily at work in the Far East in his 80’s. In that time he built 15 hospitals and clinics, improvised and improved operation techniques, becoming one of the most widely practiced surgeons in the world, made new discoveries in preventive medicine, invented and developed soybean milk, which is responsible today for saving thousands of lives in undernourished areas of the world, was consulting physician to three U.S. Presidents and personal physician to senators and ambassadors. All this and much more is told us by Raymond S. Moore, vice-president of the College of Medical Evangelists in Loma Linda, California. It is a thrilling story of what happens when a man gives himself and his talents to the service of God. This book deserves a prominent place in the annals of those modern missionaries whose deeds prove that there is still romance and thrill in lives that are God-seeking rather than self-serving. “It is not too much to say that the whole thrilling history of missionary enterprise during the past 100 years has produced few more towering figures than Dr. Harry W. Miller. “He is not only in the inspiring tradition of such all-time ‘greats’ as Livingstone, Judson and Paton, whose dedicated skills indelibly marked the maps with Christian humanitarianism throughout the world’s far places, he is also a restless creator of new traditions, a modern-day pioneer whose imaginative use of medicine has touched millions with the magic of new hope and health. “We are indebted to Raymond S. Moore for this moving and revealing account of Dr. Miller’s unique and infinitely varied life and work.”—Clarence Hall, Senior Editor of Reader’s Digest and author of ADVENTURERS FOR GOD
