Hope Does Not Disappoint: Stories from the life and Ministry of Dr. Bob Paeglow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798890433633)

Dr. Bob Paeglow grew up in humble circumstances in the West Hill neighborhood of Albany, New York. His world came crashing down when as a young boy, his mother was taken away to the state mental hospital. Struggling with rage and hopelessness, he nearly dropped out of high school. Contemplating suicide, his life was saved by his high school sweetheart, his beloved Leane.

Doubting the existence of God, Dr. Bob's world was shaken again when Leane became a Christian believer. Ultimately, God revealed Himself to Dr. Bob through Leane's patience, love, and prayers and dedicated his life to serving Jesus.

God called Dr. Bob to go into medicine through a supernatural experience and then confirmed his call by miraculously arranging his acceptance to medical school. Starting medical school at age thirty-six, with Leane and their four children, he overcame tremendous hardship to graduate with more awards and honors than any of his classmates.

God broke Dr. Bob's heart on the mission field in Mozambique, Africa, and he dedicated his professional life to serving the poor across the world.

In October 2000, God called Dr. Bob back to his boyhood neighborhood--now the poorest and most desperate in Albany--to start Koinonia Primary Care.

Winner of the international Humanism in Medicine award, Dr. Bob has been honored in People magazine, Good Morning America, and CBS Evening News.

Join Dr. Bob through his stories of incredible adventures across the world and back home. Be inspired by tales of hope, healing, and miracles. See how God can use ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary exploits.
