"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). These words of Christ Jesus prompt me to write this testimony in the hope that it will help others. It has been proved to me beyond any doubt that God is Life and that therefore there is no reality in death.
Since my early teens I had been a sickly person, owing to a severe attack of rheumatic fever. The attending physician said it had left a serious heart condition which could never be healed. He said that I would have to limit all my activities.
At the age of twenty-one I married, and after the birth of our second child, I found it increasingly difficult to do even the smallest household duties without complete exhaustion. I was examined again by another physician, who prescribed sedatives and said I should remain in bed.
