Forty years ago a new launch, the Luzeiro, slid down the ways into the Amazon, greatest of rivers. For the next twenty-eight years Leo B. Halliwell and his wife Jessie sailed the Luzeiro and its successors up and down the liquid highways of the tropics, bringing medical care and spiritual aid to dwellers along the banks.
They struggled against innumerable foes and dangers. They fought malaria, hookworm, yaws, kala, azar, leprosy, and tropical ulcers. They saved numerous snake bite victims. They braved the dangers of submerged rocks, floating logs, prejudice, superstition.
Leo and Jessie Halliwell are gone now, but along the Amazon are innumerable children named for Leo and Jessie. The work the missionary couple started continues on a greater scale than they could have foreseen.
Here is the story of this intrepid couple, captured in all its excitement and warmth. The Halliwell story is one of the greatest missionary biographies in the history of Seventh-day Adventism. Reading it is an adventure of the mind and heart.
