Christian Science has brought me inspiration, strength, and comfort for more than forty years. It was presented to me by a young man who had been a pupil in a Christian Science Sunday School and who correctly surmised it would answer my questions concerning God and Christ Jesus—questions I had not had answered satisfactorily in the Protestant church of which I was then a member.
My friend gave me a copy of Miscellaneous Writings by Mrs. Eddy because he thought one section titled "Bible Lessons" would appeal to me. It did. This led me to study the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, soon afterward. The irrefutable logic with which this book explains events recorded in the Bible satisfied me then and has continued to inspire me since.
During the Second World War, I lived in England. A spiritual understanding of the ninety-first Psalm brought me a conscious sense of safety during air raids when I was engaged in civil defense duties, as well as protection on a number of occasions, as, for example, when a bomb fell very near the house where I was staying but did not explode.
