Testimonies of Healing

Since I began studying Christian Science several years ago, the Christ has transformed my life. My consciousness has become less self-centered and more God-centered.

My grandmother and mother were healed through prayer in Christian Science, and they immediately accepted this teaching. So I was associated with this religion all during my childhood.

At a time when I was taking five different kinds of medication daily, Christian Science was brought to my attention by a friend in Germany. I was awed by the account of his sister's healing through spiritual means alone.

Mary Baker Eddy writes ( Miscellaneous Writings, pp. 82-83 ): "Immortal Mind is God, immortal good; in whom the Scripture saith 'we live, and move, and have our being.

Upon leaving my office one afternoon, I was suddenly stricken with extreme pains in my back. By the time I arrived home it was almost impossible for me to get out of the car.

I have had many blessings as a result of my faith in and devotion to the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy, as they are set down in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. In more than fifty years I have had healings of diseases, the overcoming of inharmonies, and I have received supply and protection through an understanding of our Father-Mother God, as taught to mankind by Christ Jesus.

The greatest gift I have ever received is that of being raised in Christian Science. I have found this Science offers the most effective means for healing sickness and comforting distress.

For many years of our marriage, my husband had a severe drinking problem. Because of this, in our household harmony seemed the exception, and discord the rule.

Soon after I became a parent I was stricken with polio. Because of the nature of the illness, we were obedient to the laws of the land, and a physician watched the case daily.

I am grateful to have been brought up by parents who were Christian Scientists. One of the earliest healings I remember occurred when I was about six.
