My parents have told me about my first healing through Christian Science, which occurred when I was a two-year-old hospitalized with a life-threatening illness. Of course I was too young to remember the details, but Christian Science apparently saved my life.
I do have a vivid memory of the time, five years later, when Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures helped change my life.
I was seven, and my father had pleaded with my second-grade teacher to give me one more chance to pass with my class to the next grade. I remember the kindness and sincerity of the teacher in our small Texas town. She'd given me much special attention so I could catch up with the other students, who were organized into "sparrow," "robin," and "bluebird" groups, according to reading ability. But, in spite of all the help, I wasn't reading, and couldn't make it into any group.
