Testimonies of Healing

I AM A LIFELONG Christian Scientist. My personal notebook records 53 specific and clear-cut demonstrations of the power of God, Spirit—of Truth, Life, and Love—in my experience.

AT FIRST I wasn't too keen to help. But my husband needed me to hold the ladder as he fixed an electricity pole at the front of our property.

LAST YEAR , one of my teeth became inflamed and very painful. I went to the dentist and he described the dental work that was needed.

I'D BEEN STRUGGLING with a sore foot for more than a week. For no apparent reason, this foot had become inflamed and quite painful, making it difficult to walk.

MY WIFE AND I had just completed a long day of driving from St. Louis to our second home, in Maine.

I WAS SPENDING A YEAR teaching in Vienna, Austria. One day while commuting home on the bus, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

I NEVER EXPECTED our family vacation to end the way it did—with me battling what appeared to be a severe case of food poisoning. When it first hit, I was unable to move or breathe easily because of the pain.

I WAS PLANNING to spend that Saturday horseback riding with a friend. But when she dropped the ramp of the horse trailer we were going to use to transport the horses, the loud bang startled my horse, and she bucked me off and ran away.

MY FATHER, my two brothers, and I had started a job remodeling an unattached garage at a house out in the country. The first day was miserable for me.

ONE EVENING as I was going to bed, I felt a terrible pain in my back and hips and found that I couldn't straighten out my left leg. I also couldn't stand upright or find a comfortable position in which to sit or lie down.
