One day, while bathing at the beach with my family, I was knocked down by a huge wave. When I came out of the water, I could hardly stand or walk. I recalled that my brother, who lived in a distant city, had often spoken to me of Christian Science and what it had done for him.
As soon as I was able to reach a telephone I called him. I began to relate what had happened, but before I had finished I was able to straighten up and was completely healed.
My brother had sent me gift checks several times, urging me to buy the textbook, Science and Health, but I had always spent them for things that I considered I needed more. Finally, however, I bought the textbook, and within a week after I began to study it, I was healed of a nervous breakdown.
