About This Book
Dr. Friberg was a medical missionary in Tanzania from 1942-1951. The child of medical missionaries, he grew up in central China. The tales spun in this memoir are tales of faith, tales of hardship, and tales of adventure -- the story of his (and his family's) life of service.

Madison Books, 1993

Disappointing book on an interesting topic
White House Doctor by Dr. Burton Smith is a poorly written, sophomoric account of the author's time as the physician to President Reagan. While it does contain a few (very few) details of interest that one would otherwise not know, far too much of the book deals with such topics as the author's time in medical school--who cares!! No one buys this book to learn about his time in med school. I ...

Change Points, 1993

Great Weekend Read
Coming from both a physician and a pilot, I thought the book portrayed both endeavors very well. Moreover, as someone who just enjoys reading, I thought it was unbeatable. The book was full of adventure and great descriptions of exciting (and true) events. The writing style fit the topic and was pleasantly easy to read. Like the last reviewer, I have shared the book with several friends, all ...

A little known book in the vast collection of his writings, but probably his best. ...

IP Books, 2010

Difficult to Put Down
I became aware of Dr. McCauley-Bell when I logged on to a seminar that was hosted by Society of Women Engineers. The course title was Decision Making Under Uncertainty and it discussed a five step plan for personal success: Goal setting, Planning, Good association and believing in yourself. At first it seemed a typical seminar, but there was something about the presenter that was different. Dr. ...
