His first real experience with the Christian religion occurred when he was 19 years old and he read the Bible for the first time. His reason for reading was boredom during a stay in the hospital for leg surgery in 1949. He was confined to bed in a small room by himself most of the time without a radio, television or reading material except for a bible that was placed in the room by the Gideon Society. He began reading the bible and was so spellbound by what he was reading that he spent every waking moment reading until he was dismissed from the hospital. For the next few months during his daily activities his mind dwelled on the scriptures. He left his job and moved to Dallas, Texas to live with his mother who at that time was a regular member of a protestant church. He attended church with his mother a few times then made his commitment to become a Christian one Wednesday evening, by confessing his faith in Christ and being baptized in water. He has attended two Christian colleges and he has taught bible classes and did personal work for the last 60 years. He still loves to teach about the bible but at 83 years of age he confines his teaching to writing.vizualizați mai puține
