Testimonies of Healing

MY heart is overflowing with gratitude as I take advantage of this opportunity to tell of the many blessings which have come to me since beginning the study of Christian Science several years ago.

I had been taught that God sends sickness and death, and I had to give up saying the Lord's Prayer, for I felt I did not want His will to be done; but when Christian Science revealed to me a loving Father-Mother God, I began to understand God's will and love it.
When I began to have Christian Science treatment it was with fear and doubt. For twenty years I had taken medicine both morning and evening for bowel disorder.
