Testimonies of Healing

Verification of Healings

These healings are verified by people who can vouch for the testifier or who know of the healing. Examples of Christian healing from individuals and families around the world have been published in the Christian Science periodicals for well over 125 years.

Healing of breathing and heart problems

I had a very challenging career in the media that included managing people in many offices across the country. When I married and moved to the suburbs, I needed to commute two hours to my Chicago office in the morning and two hours back each evening—in addition to the extensive air travel required for my work.

Healed of hemorrhaging

It was moving day, and I had been looking forward to getting settled in our brand-new home. That morning I awoke to find that my menstrual period had become abnormally heavy.

Healed after poisonous spider bite

In March 2018, I woke up one morning with a large hot spot on the inside of my upper thigh, apparently a bug bite. I didn’t think much of it, assuming it would just go away after a while.

Injured rib healed

The author rejected the false suggestion that man's relation to God could be broken or fractured.

No more heart disease

Early in November 2016, my wife and I agreed to purchase a particular insurance policy that included an initial health screening. Unfortunately, I did not realize what this would entail.

Injury from skiing accident quickly healed

It was a gorgeous, warm, sun-filled day as I put on my skis and headed toward the ski lift ready to enjoy my vacation. I went up the mountain, and just as I was about to get off the lift, a skier ran into me and I fell.

Pain and immobility healed

Even devoted students of Christian Science have occasion to dig deeper in their understanding of its teachings about God, our relation to God, and the practice of Christian healing. I recently experienced the need to go well beyond my normal study discipline, to unreservedly reach out and declare my unimpaired oneness with my creator, and to express my joy and freedom as His, Her, loved child.

‘And a little child shall lead them’

I found out about Christian Science when I sang solos and played the organ for a few different branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist. At first, I wasn’t interested in Christian Science; I just loved music (see “ From unbelief to feeling embraced by God’s love ,” Christian Science Sentinel, May 13, 2019).

Healed of disfiguring condition on hand

A few years ago a very painful, hard bump began to develop at a joint on one of my fingers, disfiguring the finger and bending it to the side. At first, thoughts flooded in suggesting the inevitability of aging, such as, “Well, you’re at an age when things like this show up, and you should expect this to happen.

Illness on tropical trip healed

This past winter, my husband and I traveled to the Caribbean for a vacation with my brother and sister-in-law. In the afternoon on the third day, while swimming in a pool, I started to feel dizzy and nauseous.
