 The utmost in self-righteousness March 10, 2006

If there were a "zero" or a minus grade I could give this book, I would. The title sounded so intriguing but turned out to be nothing but a cheap ploy to attract potential buyers. The flora and fauna of Nepal do not feature in the book. The author, a "Christian" missionary physician, did not bother to study Hindu culture before going to Nepal and so commits serious offenses against the local population and their beliefs. He seems to feel no love whatsoever for the people he is claiming to take care of but expects them to say "thank you" at every turn. He looks at them and treats them with an attitude of condescension, smugness, and arrogance. In spite of being a physician, he turns down the patients that need him most desperately. I was outraged!!! He is one of the people that give Christians and missionaries in general a bad name.

I love the book from the start and I have bought it for many friends since my first reading 7 years ago. I love the candid portray of faith and the author's struggles of finding ways to introducing God to the Nepalese who were not introduced to the concept of mercy and unconditional love in Budhism. And above all, the author has a great sense of humor and, his faith in God is an inspiration to all. A refreshing reading for all.
