As a young man I became a victim of pain that was so severe I could not drive my car, lie flat on my back in bed, or turn the key to open the door. I was told by doctors that I was suffering from rheumatism and diabetes. No hope of a complete cure was given to me.

About seven years ago I realized that there was a way out of my dilemma when I read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I read it from cover to cover, many times, and with each reading I gained tremendous inspiration and enlightenment.

It became apparent to me that the truths in this book were the key to my liberation. In the first chapter Mrs. Eddy points out (p. 1), "The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,—a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love." This sentence made it clear to me that love for God and my fellow men must motivate my every thought and action.
