On page 546 of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes, "The proof that the system stated in this book is Christianly scientific resides in the good this system accomplishes, for it cures on a divine demonstrable Principle which all may understand." Because of the tremendous amount of good this system has accomplished in my life, I feel impelled to share this proof with others, who may benefit from a knowledge of my experience.

For twelve years prior to my introduction to Christian Science my life was a recurring sequence of troubles, marital infidelities and desertion, heroin addiction, and a routine of criminal and other immoral activities too numerous to mention. All this took place between periods of extended imprisonment in both state and county penal institutions for a variety of drug-related crimes and parole violations.

In 1968, I was in custody once again for violating my parole agreement from a rehabilitation center for drug addiction. I was waiting for transportation back to the center in a maximum-security facility, and it was here that I was first introduced to Christian Science.
