ALBERT SCHWEITZER - CALLED TO AFRICA
Dr. Albert Schweitzer is remembered around the world as one of the great humanitarians of the 20th century, a man who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in healing the sick and injured in Africa. This towering figure - jungle doctor, pastor, philosopher, and celebrated musician - was revered by royalty and the famous of his day. Yet the price of his fame was paid for in part by his wife and daughter, left behind in Europe while he pursued his African dream.

Albert Schweitzer: Called to Africa tells his remarkable story through the eyes of his wife, Helene, a nurse who shared her husband's dream of carving a hospital out of the rugged African jungle. Filmed on location in Strasbourg, France, where the young Schweitzer gave organ recitals and preached, and in Gabon, West Africa, where the hospital he founded continues to treat people today, this inspiring docu-drama brings to life the story of Albert Schweitzer, and is enhanced by real-life interviews with family members, biographers, theologians, and others.

Albert Schweitzer was a good man. But not a follower of Jesus Christ. We can see this in his biography.

What is being a Christian? A real Christian, not just in name only, is one whose sins are truly forgiven, who has repented from sin and who is moving away from a sinful life. It's not just one who does good works. The good works will come as the fruit of salvation, but those works don't save. Schweitzer rejected the authority of the Bible after "some study". Really? How did he know anything about Jesus if his source was suspect?
