Read the Spirit Books Publishes "Healing the World" by Daniel L. Buttry and Dámaris Albuquerque

CANTON, Mich. - Jan. 24, 2023 - PRLog -- Read the Spirit Books, an imprint of Front Edge Publishing, is proud to announce the publication of Healing the World: Gustavo Parajón, Public Health and Peacemaking Pioneer. In a world ravaged by crises, this inspiring biography of Nicaraguan public health pioneer and peacemaker Gustavo Parajón encourages readers to courageously reach out to the world's neediest people. From his family, Parajón inherited a deep Christian faith that made him a fearless example of how to navigate dangerous conflicts and public health crises.

Gustavo described his mission as simply following the example of Jesus, but he did so in such a unique, tireless and effective way that his admirers included former President Jimmy Carter and U2's Bono.

"Gustavo Parajón, a true Christian peacemaker, dedicated his life to putting his faith into action with intelligence and compassion."
President Jimmy Carter

This doctor, pastor, health care visionary, prophetic voice and peacemaker was a leader in developing disaster-relief and development programs. His work lives on through organizations he founded. Those who follow his example now circle the world.

"Gustavo Parajón exemplified the famous Micah text perhaps more than anyone I ever knew—to 'do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.' This doctor who could heal a nation, this pastor who could lovingly shape all who came near him, and this prophet who always, eloquently, and consistently spoke the truth to power; was one of the greatest unsung heroes of faith and justice on a global scale while transforming countless local communities. This book is a must read if you want to know what it really means to follow Jesus in times just like we are in right now!"
Jim Wallis, Inaugural Chair and Director of the Center for Faith and Justice at Georgetown University

Among his core missions was training and sending ordinary people to become health promoters and vaccine providers in poor communities beyond regular health systems, setting up the structures and trainers to provide that care.

Now, you can read Gustavo's inspiring story. The book is also ideal for small-group discussions in your congregation or community.
