At one point I was presented with a copy of Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health. However, some years were to pass before I started to really ponder and study the truths contained in this book.

I spent these years trying to sort out my life. Finally, one day I found myself in black despair. I thought, I've tried everything; there is nothing more I can do. Then the thought came, No, you haven't prayed. That was true—I couldn't remember the last time I had prayed.

In humility I knelt down and cried out, "God, help me. I don't know what to do." Words cannot fully describe what happened next, for I was filled and surrounded with the most wonderful, comforting love. It enfolded me in tenderness and peace. Although outwardly nothing had changed, I knew that all was well. After that I started to read Science and Health and began attending a local branch church. Today I still remember the loving smiles of the ushers that greeted this "stranger" and the warm feeling of love I felt in that church.
