"Yancey is a wonderful author I always find worth reading. This collaboration with the late Paul Brand is an earlier work which reflects the sacredness of life, the power of God, and mystery of sentient creatures living for him. Brand's contribution emanates from his work as a medical doctor. "

About the Authors

Dr. Paul Brand (July 17, 1914 – July 8, 2003), was a pioneer in developing tendon transfer techniques for use in the hands of those with leprosy. He was the first physician to appreciate that leprosy did not cause the rotting away of tissues, but was the loss of the sensation of pain which made sufferers susceptible to injury. Brand contributed extensively to the fields of hand surgery and hand therapy through his publications and lectures, and wrote popular autobiographical books about his childhood, his parents’ missionary work, and his philosophy about the valuable properties of pain. One of his best known books, co-written with Philip Yancey, is Pain: The Gift Nobody Wants (1993), republished in 1997 as The Gift of Pain.

Philip Yancey worked for ten years as an editor and then publisher for Campus Life magazine. In 1980 he and his wife Janet moved to Chicago where he began a career as a freelance writer. They moved to Colorado in 1992. He is the author of over twenty books, three of them coauthored with Dr. Paul Brand. He is grateful to be able to make a living writing about the questions that interest him.
