    About this ebook

    In the pages of He Took the Pain But Left the Memories, Gregory D. Patterson shares his plight with an illness that left him confined to a sickbed for years. There on that bed he sulked in sorrow and grief. Patterson contemplated if God had removed his hands from his life. It left him wondering if he had arrived at the end of a road. Eventually, the hope that once anchored his soul became depleted until he conjured the strength to believe the words that he had spoken to so many others.

      -Dr. Earnest Pugh

      From trials to tribulation and back. Gregory Patterson not only fought to survive but he stood on every word God promised him. This book will touch many lives because he comes from a place where many have not gone and where others are trying to get to. He is a great man of God with a great destiny and this is his birthing season. And I'm honored to know him.

      - Jamila A. White

      Whether a believer or not this book will question fundamental truths of whether God is real because every fiber in you will come to the conclusion that something supernatural was at work. I choose to believe that it will be apparent after reading these true events for even the non-believers there will stir a hint of truth that God reigns and it's with great pleasure that I endorse not only an awesome read which has the core elements of emotions, but penetrates the very values of the heart hidden from view.

      About the Author

      INTRODUCTION

      The discovery of one’s peculiarity is one like no other. Such a discovery can be likened to figuring out a mystery you didn’t know existed. Finding out that you are peculiar is the moment that you realize that although you are in so many ways just like the next person, you are still set apart from the rest. There is an innate voice embedded in the deep places of your core that whispers a resounding message that says you are different. Before you know, you believe these words and pursue the truth that comes with them.

      At a significantly early age--14 years young to be exact--it had become very clear to me that I was cut from a rare fabric.
