Some parts very interesting
30. Juli 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I read this book with an agenda. In the mid-1970s a little booklet called "The Agnostic Who Dared to Search" was available in Christian bookstores. It was taken from chapters 5 and 6 of Dr. Olsen's book.
It detailed how Dr. Olsen and his wife accepted the challenge proposed by her newly converted parents in order to bring an end to family arguments about religion. The Olsen's thought it would be easy to dust off college notes about errors in the Bible and silence the in-laws. About this time Dr. Olsen also revelled in telling nursing students their belief in a special creation by God was foolish and evolution is endorsed by thinking people everywhere.
The Olsens were surprised to discover the critiques they had in college notes exposing flaws in the Bible were themselves weak and faulty. They began to realize many things point to God, but which god? Perhaps other religions are as good as Christianity or even better. In time all criticisms of Christianity fell away and the Olsens believed in Jesus as the Son of God and their savior.
I used to give that small booklet to many people. Then as quickly as it appeared it became unavailable. I wanted to read the source book in its entirety for a complete context. That would be "Daktar..."
"Daktar..." adds some interesting examples of how God led the Olsens and their medical mission in Bangladesh. As noted in other reviews, it also spends many pages in detail about political developments in East Pakistan. For the average reader, these details numb the mind and take away from the story.
I am glad I read the book, but it could have been a lot shorter for my purposes.

May change your mind about missionaries!
8. Juli 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This man is extraordinary! While we desire wealth, security, good health, and so much more, Vic Olsen's autobiography touches my heart as I see the tremendous passion and commitment of a Christian missionary to help the people of Bangladesh while ignoring the superficial desires of our society. His life trumps the stereotype delusional missionary of the same era portrayed in The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. You may reject his perspective that Jesus Christ is the Messiah (although he provides a logical defense), but think again what this man did because he committed his life to Jesus Christ. Is not this world better off because of this man's decision? Now, what am I going to do?
