Produktbeschreibung
A few hours before dawn Magdalena could no longer feel her legs or hands. In a sick stupor she had been sitting there for hours, feet out before her, back against the corner post of the champa. Conscious thought began to slip away into the well of darkness. As she fell down that well, she reached out to the baby she was losing and weakly hoped that they would both be dead before the dogs or the zopilotes found them. The Rainwoman, by Jeff. Mckenney M.D., is a compelling narrative of the brutal, desperate, and lonely journey of a young Honduran woman. It is the tale of an improbable rescue that turns on the quantum mechanics of a raindrop, the unsparing kindness of the rural poor and the sacrifice of the struggling missionary. And, it is a challenging consideration of a creator who must chose the future from instant to instant on a sub-atomic level.
Autorenporträt
Jeff McKenney, MD, FACS, FICS is a missionary surgeon. He is Founder & President of The Cornerstone Foundation*, and Asociación Piedra Angular de Honduras, Founder and Director of Loma de Luz, Balfate Colón, Honduras. The principle ministries of Loma de Luz include: Hospital Loma de Luz** , Casa Santuario, Foster Children's Home***, and El Camino Bilingual School****.This book was first written and published when " Dr. McKenney, his wife Rosanne Lillard McKenney.; and their children, Nathanael, Gabriel, and Hannah, are currently in their tenth year of full-time service on the edge of the jungle at Hospital Loma de Luz, Balfate, Colón, Honduras." That was 15 years ago ( as of this writing). Nate, Gabe, and Hannah are now grown and professionals in their own right, yet they still consider Loma de Luz their home. Jeff and Rosanne are still at work there on a daily basis; 34 years after beginning the work and after 25 years on the field. So, with a profound sense of compassion, humor and appreciation for both the rural poor of Honduras, and the missionary alike, Dr. McKenney writes honestly and clearly from what he knows.*The Cornerstone Foundation: https://crstone.org/** Hospital Loma de Luz: https://crstone.org/the-hospital/*** Casa Santuario, Foster Children's Home, https://crstone.org/sanctuary-house/**** El Camino Bilingual School, https://crstone.org/el-camino-bilingual-school/ .
