Thank you Ken B. For Visiting us today. You are always
Welcomed.
The facts pertinent to Bill’s
conversion are these: (1) Dr. Silkworth told Bill that the Great Physician
Jesus Christ could cure Bill. (2) Ebby Thacher had just been to the altar
at Calvary Mission and told Bill of his (Ebby’s) own rebirth. (3) Bill went
to Calvary Church to hear Ebby give testimony and decided he (Bill) might
be helped at the Mission also. (4) Bill went to the altar at Calvary
Mission; and four people attested that Bill there accepted Jesus Christ as
his Lord and Savior. (5) Among those who verified the act were Mrs. Samuel
Shoemaker, Bill’s wife Lois, Bill himself when he wrote in his
autobiography “For sure I’d been born again (6) Drunk and desperate, Bill
decided he’d better call on the Great Physician for help. He went to Towns
Hospital. He cried out to God for help. He was convinced of the conversion
experience there–sensing God’s presence in the extraordinary blazing white
light experience. (7) Bill said to himself “Bill, you are a free man! This
is the God of the Scriptures. (8) Bill never drank again. (9) He later
wrote on page 191 of his Big Book: “The Lord has been so wonderful to me
curing me of t his terrible disease that I just want to keep talking about
it and telling people. (10) For more corroboration and details, see Dick B.,
