Testimonies of Healing

WORDS cannot express my gratitude to God for the healing power of Christian Science as discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy. Healings through this Science are precious beyond expression, for they transform one's life by replacing such conditions as insecurity, fear, and other negative mental states with positive qualities.

From childhood I had always loved to attend church and Sunday School, but as I grew older, questions would come to my thought which could not be answered by any of these religions.

I want to express my gratitude to God for Christian Science. I was healed of tuberculosis, stomach ulcers, and other diseases while studying the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs.
