My sister-in-law had an abiding faith in God. At first, though, she was suspicious of Christian Science. My husband (her brother) tried to reassure her. But he'd just started reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures then, and didn't always know how to answer her questions.
Over the years, however, my sister-in-law observed how my husband and I were helped when we prayed to God. She saw us and our children recuperate quickly from things like mumps, banged-up knees, skin diseases, and financial problems. And she actually came to expect Christian Science cures.
Later, when my sister-in-law faced hard situations herself, she'd stop by our house to talk. We'd talk together about how God's love is more powerful than heartbreak or disease or even death. And sometimes we prayed together. But she never seemed interested in discussing Christian Science specifically.
