Jungle Doctor And The Whirlwind - Review

http://christianaudio.com/jungle-doctor-and-the-whirlwind-paul-white

A fun read, in the tradition of James Herriot and Tom Dooley, Jungle Doctor follows Australian missionary Dr. Paul White on his daily adventures as a physician to tribal peoples in Tanzania, Africa, where navigating mud tracks, surviving violent whirlwind dust storms and battling a dysentery epidemic are all in a day's work.

Dr. White passes on biblical principles in his daily practice through fables and story telling.  With his faithful friend and assistant, Daudi, who also serves as interpreter with the natives, he performs surgery and treats patients in the most primitive conditions.  He faces off against witch doctors and drug lords.  The doctor's narrative style hooks the reader and rivets him until the final page.  Thankfully, there are several more books in the series, so readers can satisfy their need to hear more Jungle Doctor adventures.  

I enjoy the way narrator Paul Michael reads with distinct and clear character voices.  He is easy to listen to.  Of the 29 Jungle Doctor books written by Paul White, Christian Audio has 4 of them in audiobook.  Running 2-3 hours each and priced at $10.98, Jungle Doctor and the Whirlwind is great for family listening, car rides, and storytime.  Produced in audiobook form for Christian Audio (c)2012.

Thanks to Christian Audio for providing me with a free review copy of this audiobook.  No other compensation was received for this review.
