Book excerpt: Foreword by Ravi K. Zacharias "Doctors for the Kingdom tells the amazing yet little-known story of the medical mission of the Reformed Church in America in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. By piecing together archival records, first-person accounts from the past century, and more than 100 photographs and maps, Dr. Paul Armerding -- head of the American Mission Hospital in Bahrain -- chronicles the history and leaders of this extraordinary medical mission. At once educational and inspiring, "Doctors for the Kingdom offers a portrait of Christian-Muslim relations that stands in stark contrast to the picture presented by much of today's media.
