" 'I've found it helpful to try to think like the Creator,' Brand (Dr. Paul Brand, a surgeon, missionary, recipient of many awards, and lecturer) told me. 'My engineering team at Carville has done just that. For several years our team worked with the human hand. What engineering perfection we find there! I have a bookcase filled with surgical textbooks that describe operations that people have devised for the injured hand: different ways to rearrange the tendons, muscles, and joints, ways to replace sections of bones and mechanical joints--thousands of surgical procedures. But I know of no procedure that succeeds in improving a normal hand. For example, the best materials we use in artificial joint replacements have a coefficient of friction one-fifth that of the body's joints, and these replacements only last a few years. All the techniques correct the deviants, the one hand in a hundred that is not functioning as God designed. After operating on thousands of hands, I must agree with Isaac Newton: 'In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.' ' "

SoAmazing Review: Dr. Paul Brand is one of Yancey's thirteen heroes in Soul Survivor. Each hero's story is remarkably poignant in the way it touched Yancey's soul and impacted his life.
