Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (photographs) Richard Reinhold (illustrator). First Edition. [minimal shelfwear only, very light age-toning to edges of text block; jacket lightly rubbed, a bit of wear along the bottom edges, shallow chipping surrounding upper front hinge, short closed tear at bottom rear flapfold]. (B&W photographs) The story of World Vision, described as "one of America's most vital missionary organizations," and its founder, Dr. Bob Pierce. The book "records in moving detail the stirring accomplishments and sacrifices of missionary heroes who operate hospitals, clinics, schools, and missions throughout the world." The organization is still active today, per Wikipedia, "in more than 90 countries with a total revenue including grants, product and foreign donations of $2.9 billion," although Dr. Pierce himself resigned as World Vision's president in 1967. In 1970, he founded a hunger relief organization, Samaritan's Purse, that morphed into the evangelical Christian organization that is today headed by Franklin Graham, who teamed up with Pierce in 1974 and became president of the organization after Pierce's death in 1979. (Both World Vision and Samaritan's Purse are known to have very regressive policies regarding same-sex marriage, about which I will refrain from comment except to express a fervent wish that karma will catch up with the people responsible for said policies in their afterlives, and that Jesus (or maybe Satan) will patiently explain to them where they went wrong.).
