Testimonies of Healing
I was brought up in a loving home, attending a Christian Science Sunday School with my two sisters right up until I was twenty years old. I shall always be grateful to the teachers there, who helped us to appreciate and to love the Holy Bible, with its stories of the prophets and the teachings and healings of Jesus and the apostles.
A practitioner once said that Christian Science is a realist's proving ground. Hopefully in a small way I'm proving this today.
I jumped off the swing and I hurt my arm and lay down inside my school at the nurse's office. I went home.
Our family has had numerous healings through the realization of God's loving care, which is a kind of prayer. I have become increasingly aware of just how much overcoming fear helps to bring healing.
I am a new student of Christian Science. My best friend gave me a copy of Science and Health not long ago, and my journey through its pages has been intense, enlightening, and fruitful.
One day while our son was playing on a trampoline, he fell on his neck. My husband and I rushed to him, and both of us reached out to God for the healing thoughts that we needed.
Some years after I had had class instruction in Christian Science, I began to realize that periods of depression, which I had undergone at regular intervals through much of my life, were examples of animal magnetism . This is a term Christian Science uses to describe the nature of evil, which often appears aggressive and very real.
One healing that has meant much to me occurred while I was on an outing to the city with a group of Sunday School students. I had misjudged the drop of a curbing and badly sprained an ankle.
When I was the tender age of three months, a wonderful family took me into their home and their hearts. My birth mother had arranged to board me there.
We live on the coast of Western Australia, quite a distance from the nearest Christian Science branch church in Perth, of which I am a member. One very hot Sunday my husband and I decided to attend the evening service, as it would be cooler for travelling by then.
