Testimonies of Healing

Mary Baker Eddy wrote that the purpose in founding The Christian Science Journal was "to put on record the divine Science of Truth.

I would like to testify to a healing I had through turning to God in prayer, as taught in Christian Science. My wife and I were staying overnight at a hotel, as we were scheduled to fly out of the country early the following day.

Christian Scientists often speak of their healings as "beautiful. " In looking back over a lifetime of studying Christian Science, I have noted that in all my experiences of Christian Science healing, there has been a loss, in some measure, of material-mindedness; in each case, this spiritual progress has been beautiful.

Since my last published testimony of healing through Christian Science, I have experienced quick healings of colds, upset stomach, and several sports injuries. Over two years ago I had a healing that brought me increased spiritual understanding.

I have known the action of God's power in my life for many years. A popular saying, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity," has been proved in the lives of our family.

I was raised in Christian Science. Two healings that my parents related were always meaningful to me.

Whenever a new issue of the Christian Science Sentinel or the Journal arrives at our home, I first read all the testimonies of healing. From reading these testimonies, my confidence in the practicality of relying on God for healing has deepened tremendously.

My testimony is certainly long overdue, since I first learned of Christian Science over sixty years ago. My father came into the study of Christian Science through his healing of a nervous breakdown.

Spiritual healing has been going on in my family for over fifty years. My mother found Christian Science through a neighbor, who kindly shared it with her at a time of great need.

Many years ago a rather large growth appeared on my back. I immediately prayed to heal something so unlike harmony or Life, God.
