Called for Life: How Loving Our Neighbor Led Us into the Heart of the Ebola Epidemic by Kent Brantly
4.0
This incredible biography is the true story of Kent and Amber Brantly, a Christian couple from America who moved to Liberia in 2013 to provide medical care to the hopeless and dying during the Ebola Epidemic.
It read this book amid the 2020 pandemic and found it interesting to compare the worlds reaction to Ebola to our reaction to COVID-19. Although the physical effects of the coronavirus can in no way be compared to the harrowing effects of the Ebola virus- Kent and Amber’s story speaks volumes about loving our neighbor no matter the risk, as Kent himself actually contracted Ebola as he served to help others dying from it.
