Testimonies of Healing

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for Christian Science and its healing power. Many years ago I was very successful in the business world.

It is with reverence I express gratitude for our Way-shower, Christ Jesus, who, through demonstrating his oneness with God, overcame every obstacle and revealed the perfect man and for our Leader, who through her selfless devotion to Principle discovered the Science of Christianity and explained it in the Christian Science textbook for the redemption of mankind.

My parents endeavored to teach me as a child to turn to God for my help. No means other than the truths of Christian Science were considered for the preservation of health or the guidance of character in our home.

Mrs. Eddy , our loved and revered Leader, in speaking of Christian Science, says to us in "Miscellaneous Writings" ( p.

It is with great joy that I express my thanks for Christian Science, revealed to us by our dear Leader, for through her writings she has taught me how to think spiritually. Before I had commenced the study of Christian Science, a sister very dear to me had passed on.
