Testimonies of Healing
When I was fourteen years of age, it was necessary for me to leave school. I applied for a position with a large firm which then had a policy of engaging staff youths and temporary employees.
When I was a youngster Christian Science healed me each time one of the so-called children's diseases occurred. These healings were quick and sometimes immediate.
Over twenty-five years ago I was healed of asthma through the application of Christian Science. With much gratitude I testify that I have continued to be completely free from that complaint.
My family background includes a long line of orthodox ministers, dating from 1700. My father, to whom I was very close, was also a minister.
For forty-two years I have experienced the healing power of Christian Science. My childhood was a happy one, and God was dearly loved and revered in our home.
I relate this testimony in gratitude for Christian Science and to give courage to those who suffer from the same malady and believe themselves to be without hope of healing. As a small child I had asthma.
Being raised in a Christian family, I was taught the Bible but had never felt that I truly understood the mission of Christ Jesus, until Christian Science was presented to my husband and me. I am very grateful for the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs.
I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing. The economic depression of the thirties had hit my father's business very badly.
I would like to begin my testimony with the words from Psalm 34, verse 4: "I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. " God's answer for me came at the beginning of May, 1970, for through a friend I was led to Christian Science.
For several years prior to my turning to Christian Science I sought help from many medical doctors for the alleviation of a combination of illnesses, which included low blood pressure, anemia, hormone deficiency, and severe headaches. The medical profession held no hope that I would be healed; and without healing, my successful career as a singer would be over.
