Testimonies of Healing
How can I express my gratitude adequately for Christian Science? It has been my joy and guide for nearly half a century! Not only has Science come to my rescue in physical, financial, and business ills, and the many daily little affairs, but it has given me a spiritual understanding of the teaching of Christ Jesus. The prayer to more fully understand Christ Jesus' teaching brought me into Christian Science.
We received an invitation to a Christian Science lecture in a city one thousand kilometers away. It was the first Christian Science lecture my husband and I attended.
Eighteen years ago, a student of Christian Science but not yet a church member, I had been told by a gynecologist of a tumorous condition for which he advised immediate surgery. He thought it might be malignant.
I have every reason to be grateful for the ministrations of Christian Science and for Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and presented this Science to the world. For over forty years her teachings have been my mainstay, and during that time I have witnessed some remarkable healings through a correct application of this Science.
My gratitude to God for Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and for Mrs. Eddy, who obeyed his teaching, is boundless, for I have felt the redeeming power of the Christ, Truth, in my life.
A woman I know took me to a service in a Church of Christ, Scientist. I was deeply impressed.
I was raised in a family who are Christian Scientists, and I attended a Christian Science Sunday School. Although I grew up during the 1930's when lack of employment and income were common complaints, all our needs were met.
Every Christian Scientist is grateful for the blessings received through studying Christian Science. From childhood I had always believed in God but had only learned to pray routinely.
My first Christian Science healing came through reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.
During my last year in college I received my greatest gift—an introduction to Christian Science by the young man who was to become my husband. Although at the time I was a youth worker in an orthodox church, I began to attend services in the Church of Christ, Scientist, with him.
