Testimonies of Healing

A practitioner once said that Christian Science is a realist's proving ground. Hopefully in a small way I'm proving this today.

I jumped off the swing and I hurt my arm and lay down inside my school at the nurse's office. I went home.

Our family has had numerous healings through the realization of God's loving care, which is a kind of prayer. I have become increasingly aware of just how much overcoming fear helps to bring healing.

I am a new student of Christian Science. My best friend gave me a copy of Science and Health not long ago, and my journey through its pages has been intense, enlightening, and fruitful.

One day while our son was playing on a trampoline, he fell on his neck. My husband and I rushed to him, and both of us reached out to God for the healing thoughts that we needed.

Some years after I had had class instruction in Christian Science, I began to realize that periods of depression, which I had undergone at regular intervals through much of my life, were examples of animal magnetism . This is a term Christian Science uses to describe the nature of evil, which often appears aggressive and very real.

One healing that has meant much to me occurred while I was on an outing to the city with a group of Sunday School students. I had misjudged the drop of a curbing and badly sprained an ankle.

When I was the tender age of three months, a wonderful family took me into their home and their hearts. My birth mother had arranged to board me there.

We live on the coast of Western Australia, quite a distance from the nearest Christian Science branch church in Perth, of which I am a member. One very hot Sunday my husband and I decided to attend the evening service, as it would be cooler for travelling by then.

Last Thanksgiving my family and I went for a hike near Granite Falls. After we had walked about a half-mile, I felt my knees were hurting quite a lot.
