Since 1949, for more than 60-years, Paul has been doing spiritual healing metaphysical work, along with laying-on-of-hands in His Name. When he was 8 years of age, he had his calling: “Ye that believeth on me, the works that I do, will ye do also; and greater works than these shall ye do because I go unto my Father.” Paul’s answer was immediate, sincere, and permanent. “Yes, I choose to follow you!” Along with this experience came many years of preparation, which included class teaching in Christian Science, a good background in the King James Version of the Holy Bible, and wonderful experiences in the Episcopal, Methodist, and Christian Science churches. He has written several books that might interest you. They appear to the right of this column. Please click on each book to see summary, reviews and Table of Contents. All the books are available for purchase at Amazon or your local bookstore. Look for his books on Kindle.
