The last book I finished is one of my favorite biographies to date! If any of the below topics interest you, make sure to read "John Flynn" by Janet & Geoff Benge!
In fact, read it even if you aren't into them... because I loved learning about topics in which I had no particular interest before!
Among other things, John Flynn can be described as:
• Teacher and Mentor
• First Aid Lecturer in the Outback
• Travel Photographer and Presenter
• Struggling Student
• Minister
• Patrol Padre for the Outback
• Clinic Builder
• Mission Founder
• Map maker
• Wireless Radio Visionary
• Founder of the Royal Flying Doctor Service
• Australian Delegate to the First International
Congress on Aerial Medical Services
• World Traveler
• Fictionalized Hero
• Honorary Doctorate x2
• Lobbyist
• Moderator General
• Awarded the Order of the British Empire
• Tireless Advocate for those cut off in the interior of Australia
Australia's Prime Minister described John this way: "Dr. Flynn possessed two qualities seldom found in one man. He had vision and the executive ability to get things done. He was a modern apostle Paul."
