Brown, Edgar Stoesz, and Philip Yancey, bestselling author of What’s So Amazing About Grace and Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Packed with more than 70 photos and full of interesting facts, Contagious Compassion recounts how treatment, research, organizations, ALM leaders, and the successful search for a cure evolved in the past one hundred years.
