Testimonies of Healing
During my early teens I stopped going to the Christian Science Sunday School because I couldn't relate to it. When my marriage broke up over ten years later, I began looking desperately for some indication that there was something about this life that I could depend on.
I am very grateful to have been raised in a home where Christian Science was practiced, for Christian Science has always been a way of life for me. As a child and teen-ager I had many occasions to use this Science.
About twenty years ago my husband and I decided that we wanted to have a child. After quite some time had passed and I hadn't conceived, my husband, who is not a Christian Scientist, asked me to go to a doctor to have some tests made.

Christian Science has always been my way of life. My mother sent us children to the Christian Science Sunday School, where she felt we would learn to be loving and kind.

It has been my intention for a long time to submit a written testimony. Heretofore, it was my practice to tell of my gratitude at Wednesday testimony meetings.
I began attending a Christian Science Sunday School at the age of seven, along with my two younger brothers and a sister. My mother developed a great interest in this wonderful, healing religion, and my father attended church services.
Christian Science has been such a great blessing in my life that I would like to acknowledge this fact and share some of the blessings. I have received inspiration over many years from reading the testimonies of others.
