Testimonies of Healing

I should like to tell of my first healing in Christian Science, not only because it has spiritual significance to me, but because it was the means of bringing my husband and me into Christian Science, which has been the source of innumerable blessings to us through the years.

Because I have enjoyed the benefits of Christian Science for many years, I now feel that I should share with others some of my healing experiences. My first healing was that of constipation and came about while I was reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

No words can adequately express my gratitude for Christian Science. For twenty-six years it has been a guide and help in every aspect of my life, and it has never failed.

When I was six years old, I was enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School. On my first Sunday I learned that God is everywhere.
