O knihe

Stanley Martin's life begins with his strong Christian upbringing in St. John's, Newfoundland. As a young man, he was asked to be the wireless operator on Dr. Wilfred Grenfell's hospital ship, the Strathcona, which served the deep-sea fishermen and their families on the beautiful but rugged Labrador coast.

At twenty-six years old, armed only with his medical degrees, a handful of surgical instruments, and his faith, Martin set off with his wife Margaret, a nurse, into the wilds of Manchuria. It was a land of tigers, bandits, epidemics, and superstition. In the midst of chaos arose a hospital, a symbol of hope for the injured and sick for the entire region. Built with Martin's leadership and ingenuity, the hospital became a fortunate presence when medical help was needed during Korea's Independence Movement. His strong faith in God, his medical skills, and the faithful support of his wife are revealed in Martin of Manchuria by his daughter, author Margaret Martin Moore.
