The word REBOOT developed as the computer industry began using the phrase “boot up” to signify the action of starting a computer. During running, when a computer had a glitch, the term “reboot” was used to indicate the need to restart the unit. On April 13, 2003, Rev. Stephen Albert suffered a major stroke which completely paralyzed the left side of his body. Almost a month later, just a few days before he was to leave the rehabilitation hospital, he was awakened at three o’clock in the morning by God and was directed to write down his experiences rehabilitating from the stroke. The word “REBOOT” was given to him as the title of the work and for the next two months, guided by Spirit and using only one finger of his right hand, he completed the book. Upon re-reading what had been written, he realized the book contained words that could also help people REBOOT from divorce, bankruptcy, employment problems as well as from physical ailments.
 
Printing only 300 copies, he freely distributed the book to stroke patients and their families and received great thanks from those who read REBOOT’s words. Others who read the book told him the 6-step process in REBOOT helped them get through their difficult financial situation. Others called to say the anxiety of their marital separation lessened by reading REBOOT. Still others felt their new career direction was the result of the positive direction which REBOOT brought them. And so it began.
