HEART CONDITION HEALED

LEONARD W. COLEMAN

About 20 years ago, I started getting chest pains while jogging. Some family members advised me to see a cardiologist, and after various tests I was told I needed a bypass operation, which I had. Within a five-year period, I had three more bypass operations, but I was still getting chest pains.

After the third bypass, the doctor told my wife that there wasn't any more he could do for me—I would have to get used to living a sedentary lifestyle and would be on medication for the rest of my life. My wife didn't tell me this until a week later. I was taking quite a bit of medication at the time, and I told her I could not accept this verdict. I knew what I had to do—read the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy more earnestly, more thoroughly. I stopped taking all medication and went back to Christian Science. My wife was very supportive of my decision.

Years before, I had studied Christian Science and attended church, but I had drifted away from it as I became busy with my business and family. However, I still had a Bible, Science and Health, and other writings by Mrs. Eddy.
