Testimonies of Healing
I did not come to Christian Science for physical healing; however, I have had many proofs of its healing efficacy, as well as protection against disease and accidents, during the past fifteen years. I was reared by parents who were devoted to their church, but I was unable to find in my religious training the way to combat discouragement, limitation, and fear.
It is with deep gratitude and love that I give this testimony of healing. Years ago a lump appeared on my breast.

Because Christian Science has met my every need whenever properly applied, I have gained courage and confidence in facing daily problems.

With deep gratitude, I wish to tell of a healing that I experienced over three years ago. Although I have had many proofs of the healing efficacy of Christian Science, I single this particular one out, for with it such an assurance of the ever-presence of the Christ, Truth, was instilled in my consciousness that no matter what the joys or the problems of the moment may be, this assurance has never left me.
