Testimonies of Healing

My introduction to Christian Science...

From the April 1969 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My introduction to Christian Science was at a lecture on it many years ago. I had been searching for a religion applicable to everyday living ever since I was sixteen. As I listened, I thought Science might be the answer, but I wasn't sure.

Then came the day when my marriage was on the rocks, my health poor, and I was almost without supply. Suddenly I remembered the lecture and wondered if Christian Science possibly taught people to heal as Jesus healed. Immediately I went to the telephone and found out how to get in touch with a Christian Science practitioner. On arrival at her office I told her I didn't want to become a Christian Scientist but to be taught spiritual healing by a specialist.

The practitioner explained that Christian Science is a religion of love, and this was just what I needed at that moment. She asked me if I would be willing to study the Lesson-Sermon, given in the Christian Science Quarterly, and go to church, and I agreed. I took each step with great obedience as it was pointed out, and I have never forgotten this important lesson on obedience. Before many months our marriage was reestablished, and soon we had our own home and business.
