Thierry F. reads page 56:4, “This man recounts that he tumbled out of bed to his knees. In a few seconds he was overwhelmed by a conviction of the Presence of God. It poured over and through him with the certainty and majesty of a great tide at flood. The barriers he had built through the years were swept away. He stood in the Presence of Infinite Power and Love. He had stepped from bridge to shore. For the first time, he lived in conscious companionship with his Creator.”

Thierry reads, PG56: “One night, when confined in a hospital, he was approached by an alcoholic who had known a spiritualexperience. Our friend’s gorge rose as he bitterlycried out: “If there is a God, He certainly hasn’t doneanything for me!’’ But later, alone in his room, heasked himself this question: “Is it possible that all thereligious people I have known are wrong?’’ Whilepondering the answer he felt as though he lived inhell. Then, like a thunderbolt, a great thought came.It crowded out all else:“Who are you to say there is no God?’”
