Christian Science came into my life in July, 1969, when I took hold of a Christian Science Journal given to my wife by her co-employee. A perusal of that magazine sent me searching for the branch Church of Christ, Scientist, in Manila the next day with a burning curiosity to know more of this religion which stressed man as the image and reflection of God, hence harmonious, immortal, and perfect.
I poured out a lot of questions to the librarian of the Christian Science Reading Room, who patiently answered them. He also loaned me the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, assuring me that it would explain everything.
I received the greatest surprise of my life after reading several chapters of that book. Here was the truth that I had been seeking for a lifetime! I—who had drifted through various sects and denominations over the years searching for that something that would solve the enigma of the universe! The book opened my mind to the path of Truth and turned my dark world into a sunny one.
