Norman Elliott recalls a concert hall meeting where a sudden love for a room full of strangers overtook him. He argues to the New York Silver Bay CFO in 1970 that believing in yourself matters more than any outward proof of faith, because God already believes in you.
Norman Elliott opens with the new commandment to love one another. He then tells of a couple whose long silence broke, and whose ailing infant recovered, the moment their hands touched in the dark. He was speaking to the New York Silver Bay CFO in 1970.
