Testimonies of Healing

Last summer, my wife and I were spending a wonderful week at the beach. One night in the middle of our vacation, I was awakened by a sharp pain in my stomach.

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with stomach polyps and was treated medically. I was told that the difficulty would come back, as the doctor said the removal of the polyps would not cure the situation permanently.

While serving in the army in Germany during the 1950s, I was in a small unit stationed near a village in the Taunus mountains. We were all linguists, assigned to interrogate captured prisoners in case of war.

One night when I got home it was very hot, so I sat down on the verandah. The neighbors used to say that a bite from a certain type of centipede could have fatal consequences, because they believed its poison was lethal.

For 18 years I was overweight. It was not serious in the beginning, but it became worse as the years went by.

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures entered my life via my mother. One of my aunts had given her the book.

About a year ago I noticed that my hearing was almost entirely gone. At first I didn't realize that there was a problem, but everyone else around me did.

I had always searched for something higher than what I saw around me. I had an acute feeling of being far from perfect and felt like a caged bird that wants to fly away to see what's happening elsewhere.

When I was a teenager and went to the beach with my friends, everybody enjoyed the ocean. I couldn't stay in the water for too long, however, because white blotches would appear all over my body and I would feel dizzy.

For about 20 years I looked for a religion that would fulfill my expectations. I wanted to find a God I could trust, not a God who made me afraid.
