In early 1991 I became ill with some type of cold or flu

Robert Leutwiler

In early 1991 I became ill with some type of cold or flu. I prayed a great deal about this illness in particular, and about my professional life in general, since I had been feeling dissatisfied with some parts of my work as a college professor. I also had the help of a Christian Science practitioner. However, the problem continued to worsen until I found I could not perform well in my teaching.

By March I reached the point where I felt I should request a leave of absence from teaching and from the other responsibilities at the university. To qualify for the leave, I was required to have a medical examination. The doctor was very concerned and said I had a severe case of bronchitis, which was fast developing into emphysema. He considered my condition serious.

I took six weeks off from work and continued my prayer and deep study of Christian Science. I worked with several practitioners during the rest of this experience (one at a time, of course). Each suggested many inspiring citations for me to study, as well as projects that included writing a talk on Christian Science. I found I had to put into practice what I was studying as much as possible.
