My faith in the healing power of prayer, gained from active membership in a Protestant church since childhood, was shaken during my father's last illness.

At that time I could not understand how my husband could seek out and read Science and Health which he had kept since attending Sunday School in The Mother Church. He seemed unconvinced that death was God's will for me, although I was trying to reconcile myself to believe this.
