Testimonies of Healing

A number of years ago I had a persistent sore throat. I read this in Science and Health: "Disease has no intelligence with which to move itself about or to change itself from one form to another.

I feel deep gratitude for the protection I experienced on a fishing trip. On a winter day, about five o'clock in the afternoon, I asked my friend, a super athlete and inveterate fisherman, to show me the "put and take" section of a certain trout stream.

I had the usual ensign jitters as I looked over the more than 200 men of "my" department. All of them knew more about the procedures, personalities, policies, even the physical layout, of the ship than I did, and I was supposed to be their leader! Despite four and a half years of Navy training, I still felt overwhelmed, so I turned to the method that had always worked for me in the past—I prayed for God's guidance.

Here is one of the many healings that I have experienced. One morning I got up, fixed breakfast for my husband and me, and sat down to eat.

I was an overweight child , an overweight young adult, and an overweight adult. As an adult I visited with a Christian Science practitioner, who asked me if there was anything she could help me with.

It is high time for me to give thanks for all that Christian Science has done for me throughout my life. I am most appreciative of my mother's faith in God, which steered my life into what the Bible calls the "strait" and "narrow" way.

In 1990 I was sentenced to a term of 25 years in prison for a crime of sexual battery. While I was being held at a jail waiting to be transferred to a maximum-security institution, I was handed a letter addressed to someone else.

I'd like to tell about a healing I had of a big wart on the bottom of my big toe. My mom and I started to pray.

Two notable healings occurred soon after I married. My husband and I had moved to a coastal city.

A friend and I decided to go into the restaurant business together. Since he had another business of his own and could devote no time to the restaurant, our agreement was that he would provide the necessary financing and I would supply the management.
