Testimonies of Healing

My father, prior to becoming a Christian Scientist, was employed as a soloist in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. During this time, my mother suffered from a chronic illness as well as from a nervous breakdown.

I first learned of Christian Science when a friend of my mother's came to visit and noticed that I had a large growth on my neck. This friend asked my mother if she would be willing to let me have Christian Science treatment.

I have been a Christian Scientist all my life and have raised four children in Science. Every healing, either my own or that of a member of my family, has been outstanding to me because of the lessons learned and the truth acknowledged.

" The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" ( Heb. 4:12 ).

Christian Science has given my life great enlightenment and enrichment. Rearing two children in this Science has brought joy, right relationships, and wonderful solutions to problems.

The Church of Christ, Scientist, has been my church home all my life. My mother was introduced to Christian Science by a friend when a postpartum infection threatened her life and her case was given up by physicians.

I wish to testify that since we started relying on Christian Science in our family over ten years ago, we have had the most wonderful, steady proof of God's care. One day several years ago, a big bottle of water fell from a shelf onto our very young daughter's foot, severing the tip of one toe.

I submit this testimony in hopes that it will encourage someone who might be feeling discouraged. The testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals have been a great source of strength to me during difficult times.

I was raised in Christian Science. This was an anchor that kept me from going too far astray through the years when I drifted in and out of church—not understanding at all the spiritual commitment required to be a Christian Scientist.
