"Desert Arabs and urban Americans encountered one another well before the discovery of oil on the Arabian Peninsula. Doctors for the Kingdom tells the stories of several physicians and nurses who committed their lives to the work of the Arabian Mission of the Reformed Church in America, known in the Middle East as "The American Mission." These courageous individuals left behind the comforts of their homeland in favor of serving the peoples of the Arabian Gulf. They brought modern healthcare to the emerging leaders of the region and their people. They overcame many obstacles to do their work, often laboring in primitive conditions, but did so gladly. Their work was deeply appreciated and created lasting impressions. These are stories of people coming together to create relationships of significance. This history needs to be known and understood if we are going to address the issues of our day."--Jacket.
