Testimonies of Healing

On Christmas Eve 2011, I was baking in anticipation of guests arriving at my house. I took a cookie sheet out of the oven and placed it on the stove top to cool.

Around six years ago, Christian Science came back into my life through a healing that transformed me. Shortly after my divorce I was struggling to make ends meet while living in the back of my cramped art studio, sleeping on the floor.

When my twin boys were in second grade, one of them began having an occasional earache. One night he was in great pain, and my husband took him to the emergency room, where he was prescribed a painkiller.

On September 13, 2005, I had been studying Christian Science for about eight months. During that time, I had been healed of many addictions (alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana), and my life was on the rise.

In 1995, my health started to deteriorate. Doctors diagnosed a cancer.

We had been visiting a Christian Science church for about six months, when my daughter was diagnosed with urinary reflux. During those six months, I was still taking my kids to see a doctor and relying on medical means for their health care.

I found Christian Science at a difficult moment of my life. I was feeling severe pain in my hip, and I was treated at the hospital for this condition for two months.

More than a year ago, I had a painful condition involving my foot. It had been bothering me for a few weeks and hurt so much that I could hardly walk.

As the author began to challenge thoughts of fear and sickness, she experienced peace and healing.

Shortly before I was scheduled to fly to a highly anticipated reunion with my dad and sisters, a small, hard lump on the back of my neck, which had been there for about a year, suddenly increased greatly in size and hardness. I must admit that I had paid little attention to the lump up until this point.
