Testimonies of Healing

During my years as a student of Christian Science, I have experienced many wonderful healings of such diverse things as influenza, injured limbs, and severe airplane earaches, as well as protection from criminal activity that was aimed at me. It is with the deepest sense of thankfulness that I relate the following experiences.

I wanted freedom from a very discouraging difficulty, but I wasn't all that confident that healing would occur. I was finding that my study of Christian Science brought me comfort, but I had not personally seen healings that were immediate or unquestionably attributable to prayer.

This testimony is long overdue. Ever since I was three years old, I have had the privilege of Christian Science as my only physician.

For five generations, my family has been blessed by the healing power of God through our understanding of Christian Science. A recent experience of our youngest child reinforced our confidence in the power of God to protect and heal.
