Our Masterpiece
A starting point
David D. Palmer’s foreword places this manuscript in the final years of B. J.’s life and connects it with decades of his work. It provides a retrospective entry point into the convictions and reflections of the later writings.
David D. Palmer describes manuscripts written in Sarasota during the closing period of B. J.’s life and places them against decades of work. The text returns to the constancy of natural law, the body’s expression of life, and the interference Palmer believed chiropractic sought to address.
The volume can serve as a retrospective reading point after exploring the earlier lectures and textbooks. Ask which convictions are being restated, how their language has changed, and what the later personal perspective adds. David’s foreword also makes the work a record of how B. J.’s final writing was introduced to readers.
