Testimonies of Healing

My family first heard about Christian Science when the family doctor recommended my grandmother try it when he was unable to cure her. Through its healing ministrations she was returned to her family a well woman.

One of the blessings of the Science of Christ is the practical help it affords parents in the challenging task of raising children. By placing our son and two daughters under the protection of God's law, we witnessed many healings, including severe cuts, chronic earaches, a nearly severed tongue, and a drug overdose that appeared as if it might be fatal.

One of my sons, at the age of ten, had his pajamas catch on fire when standing too close to an open fireplace. I was able to put out the flames quickly, but my son was burned from the back of his knee to his heel.

" Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" ( Matt. 6:27 ) The Bible teaches us that all things are possible to God, when we gain the realization that it is the influence of the Christ within us that does the work.

At the time I was introduced to Christian Science, I was not looking for healing but for a clearer understanding of God. As I began my study, however, healings took place.

Some time ago, the fact of the oneness of God and man was deeply impressed on me. Many times this helped me claim my unity with the Father—my absolute inseparability from Him.

Not long ago, an itchy, burning condition between the toes and on the bottom of one of my feet made walking and sleeping nearly impossible. During this time, I was receiving treatment through prayer from a Christian Science practitioner.

I have recently completed a three-year term as First Reader in my local branch church. This has been a great privilege and opportunity for spiritual growth.

Recently , I had an experience that taught me much about my real identity and individuality. Throughout my life people always admired my hair for its beautiful colour and fullness.

I had gone on a bike ride around a lake in Maine last summer. Near the end of the ride I was coming down a steep part of a dirt and gravel road when I noticed that heavy rains had created some ruts in the road.
