Waste-Basket Surgery

Waste-Basket Surgery is the first of the published journals of The Burma Surgeon, Dr. Gordon Seagrave. His books were published with the Northern Baptist missionaries to raise funding for his hospital in the hills of Burma.From the Foreword: "This little book, by one of our younger and one of our most valiant servants of Christ, is the revelation of the type of man and of service that is helping mold this world of ours nearer to the heart's desire. Here is high heroism, dynamic energy, amazing skill, profound consecration, and surpassing faith. Here are leaves taken from the experience of a real man who has caught into his heart the tenderness and the selflessness of the Nazarene. Running through the humor and the paths of this intensely personal narrative, is a will to serve that refuses to be daunted by obstacles and accepts second-hand tools to render first-class service ... It should be read and then passed on that it may enkindle in many hearts the fine devotion to Jesus and the loyal service to men which burns with such brightness in the heart of this author." -- A. Ray Petty, First Baptist Church, Kansas City, MO.
