Testimonies of Healing
The blessing of Christian Science came into the lives of my family in 1905. My mother had been pronounced incurable, with a complication of stomach disorders, by several medical specialists.
"Can Christian Science help my husband?" Many years ago my mother addressed this question to a friend who was fulfilling Christ Jesus' command, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" ( Matt. 5:16 ).

About twenty-five years ago, Christian Science changed my way of thought, thereby blessing my whole life! I began to study Christian Science to cure my grief when my parents passed away two years apart.

With sincere gratitude for Mrs. Eddy's spiritual discernment and dedicated life, I once again testify to the many blessings that her teachings have brought me.
My parents were adherents of Christian Science before my birth. Consequently, I was taught in the Christian Science Sunday School until the age of twenty.
Since coming into Christian Science I have had sufficient proof to satisfy myself that God has cared for me throughout my life. For many years, almost from my birth, I had to face innumerable difficulties.
I submit this testimony of healing to share with others my victory over error in the hope that they will receive strength to persevere in the face of difficult problems. Off and on for a period of ten years I struggled with an unsightly and uncomfortable skin condition on my hands.
"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy" ( Ps. 107:2 ).
