Testimonies of Healing

Sometimes sticking to the simplest truth can bring about healing. In this case it was: “Man is made in the image and likeness of God” from the Bible’s book of Genesis (see 1:26, 27 ).

I was really trying to know the Christ. I had been reading in the Christian Science Bible Lessons, the Herald and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy quite a lot about the perfect man, created in the image and likeness of God, though I was having a hard time understanding this concept.

After an especially intense semester as a university professor, I realized that something in my body was wrong. A constant feeling of weakness and dizziness caused me to slow down and move gingerly.

I was in the middle of moving into my new apartment, when I fell down and severely injured myself. Something had happened to my ribs.

One morning while vacationing in Maine, I awoke with all the symptoms of a cold. The Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lesson for the week was “Mortals and Immortals,” and I expected to receive inspiration from it to free me from this aggressive negative thought.

All my life I’ve relied on Christian Science for healing. I’ve consistently found Christian Science to be utterly reliable, effective, and health-giving.

With the Los Angeles Marathon taking place in March, it’s timely for me to express my gratitude for a unique opportunity I had to grow in my understanding of God. I took to heart Mary Baker Eddy’s statement, “The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achievement possible” ( Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures , p.

One of the first challenges I told a Christian Science practitioner about was my stomach problem, considering it was in the worst state it had ever been. She assured me that this condition could certainly be healed through Christian Science.

About a year ago, I woke up in the morning with a sharp pain in one hip. This made bending down very uncomfortable, and even simple actions, such as putting on trousers, were difficult.

I would like to share with you a healing I had in 2011. I went to Paris to visit my family with a friend who is not a Christian Scientist.
