Florence Nightingale never questioned the day God called her into His service. But determining just what that service would be was another matter. "Decent" young women of the nineteenth century weren't expected to work-especially not in the foul, disease-ridden medical camps of the British military. But that's where "The Lady with the Lamp" found her calling: comforting sick, wounded, and dying soldiers, and fighting for their rights within an apathetic establishment. From Scutari Hospital in the Crimean War, she turned the medical world upside down by demonstrating Jesus' teaching of service "unto the least of these my brethren."
