Testimonies of Healing

Although I attended a Christian Science...

From the May 1983 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Although I attended a Christian Science Sunday School from an early age, I didn't actually begin to study Christian Science until I was fourteen. At that time I was extremely critical of myself. I saw myself as moody, bad-tempered, intolerant, and lacking self-discipline. Naturally, my school grades and social life reflected this poor self-image, and my failure to excel deepened my brooding.

I was so full of self-pity that any instruction, counsel, or correction was taken as a deep personal insult. Yet, through my study of Christian Science, gradually, imperceptibly at first, these limitations began to loosen and fall away.

My determination to learn more about myself as a child of God led me into active participation in the Christian Science movement. I loved what I learned in Sunday School. When I later joined a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, I felt drawn to teach in the Sunday School and to serve on other church committees. And I took class instruction in Christian Science.
