Take One Three Times A Day, After Meals is a book of stories that chronicle the everyday encounters of a small group of medical missionaries who accepted the Yemeni Government's invitation to run a hospital in the town of Rada'a in the south east of the country.
Yemen, known by the Romans as Arabia Felix and in earlier times as the homeland of Bilqis, Queen of Sheba, has been at the centre of the lucrative spice routes which have linked Africa, Asia and the Middle East since ancient times.
In the latter part of the 20th century the Yemen Arab Republic opened its doors to the modern world. Jim Wilson worked there between 1976-1982 and his memoir is a treasure trove of information about the customs, superstitions and dogged tenacity of the people of this little known country.
Take One Three Times A Day, After Meals was written to encourage readers to see our shared world in a new and positive light and to be inspired to work with ordinary people to bring greater harmony into our often distrustful and unsettled world. Most of all, Jim's memoir is an opportunity to share the laughter and the tears, challenges and surprises of everyday life in a beautiful country.
