*Condition Note: Book is good condition and clean inside with an owner mark and sticker.*

When Elisabeth Redelstein was small, she wanted to be a nun. But time and conversion to the Seventh-day Adventist Church changed her dream. Instead of a habit she wore a nurse's uniform. Instead of a German convent she lived and worked on three continents, moving easily among the poor as well as the mighty. China Nurse is the story of how she took young people who knew nothing about hospital equipment, including beds, and turned them into well-trained nurses; the story of Shanghai, streets thronged with pedestrians, bicycles, rickshaws, coolies whose huge loads bounced from bamboo poles, and the medical-missionary work there; the story of her years with the family of Chiang Kai-shek, where she not only acted as nurse, but also as general manager, friend, and Bible counselor; the story of London, where she introduced Madame Chang Hseuh-Liang to the Great Physician; the story of the Nurnberg war crimes trials, where she worked as an interpreter and later as a translator; the story of Formosa, where at the age of 63 she helped start a new hospital and training school; the story of what one woman can accomplish when God controls her life. Elisabeth Redelstein is such a woman, and this is her story.
