Testimonies of Healing

When I was first told of Christian Science, it was indeed a revelation. On page 298 of Science and Health Mrs.

Forty years ago I was healed of tuberculosis. Thus was belief in the law of heredity destroyed, for I had lost a brother from the same malady.

Christian Science has been my only physician for the past twenty years, and it has never failed to heal, protect, and guide me. In our home we have had healings of tuberculosis, broken bones, rheumatic fever, sprains, colds, headaches, and numerous other ills.

Although I was told to accept the Bible literally, I could not reconcile what I read with what I had been taught and with my reason.

With sincere gratitude for the testimonies of healing in the Christian Science periodicals, which have been a source of inspiration to me over a period of many years, I offer mine, in the hope that it may bring healing to others. Two years ago I tripped and fell to the floor with great force, which resulted in intense suffering.
