Testimonies of Healing

God is my strength and my life, an ever present help in time of trouble. This was not realized by me until I learned it through the understanding of Truth, as taught by Christian Science.

As a member of The Mother Church, and First Reader in our local Christian Science Society. I wish to confirm the testimony of healing submitted to you by my mother.

I would like to prove my love and gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me by sending this testimony of healing. I had not known in years what it was to experience freedom from pain or sickness two days in succession.
