Contagious Compassion: Celebrating One Hundred Years of American Leprosy Missions
This is not a book about leprosy. It is a book about people. Contagious Compassion is a beautifully written account of the people and events that changed attitudes and leprosy treatments around the world. More than an archival record, this fascinating 256-page book showcases the people who have been touched by leprosy (also known as Hansen’s disease) and marks milestones in treatment, attitudes, and care for persons with leprosy around the world.
