Testimonies of Healing

In the search for a rational, comprehensive, pure religion for my two small boys, I found Christian Science. Before this happened, I took them to many Sunday Schools in a large city where we resided.

To encourage others as to the healing efficacy of Christian Science, this testimony is sincerely given. Prior to this experience, during the twenty-six years that I had been applying the teachings of Christian Science, I had witnessed many healings and blessings in our home.

I grew up enjoying good health and from a material standpoint had the necessary strength to work and play games for very long hours without becoming fatigued.

I had a great desire to know God, but it seemed that either God did not care about these things, and so was not all-loving, or that He could not do anything to help, which meant that He was not omnipotent.
