Let Them Hear: An Ear Surgeon's Joyful Experience with Enabling People to Hear

Let them hear. That simple phrase embodies Dr. Joseph Roberson's calling to be more than just one of the world's best ear surgeons-but also an instrument of healing and a witness of God's goodness in places both dark and light.

As Founder of the Let Them Hear Foundation, a nonprofit established to bring hearing internationally to deaf persons in need, Dr. Roberson has found deep joy in using his surgical giftings to change lives worldwide, often in difficult and complex surgeries to place cochlear implants in persons who would normally be unable to afford them.

Now, he has compiled some of the most powerful tales his unique vocation has led him into and woven them into a book that is as riveting as it is uplifting.

Tracing the pinnacles and low points of Roberson's impressive career, this memoir transports you to moving and exciting stories of medical work across a global front. You'll experience first-hand the devastation of loss and the joy in recovery; you'll be pressed in for a close glimpse at the gritty, harsh world of the emergency room; and you'll follow Dr. Roberson into the dangerous-and sometimes bizarre-jungles of the third world, both literal and metaphorical.

Most importantly, like Dr. Roberson, you too will be confronted with, and stunned by, the beautiful, miraculous power of healing-one stemming from the simple calling to "let them hear."
