Testimonies of Healing
It is with joy and gratitude for what I have received from the study and application of Christian Science that I desire to share some of those blessings with others. I found Christian Science answered my deep desire and search for something which would solve the inexplicable problem that human life seemed to present, and give satisfying answers to the constant questions troubling my thought.

My heart is filled to overflowing with gratitude for the blessings that have come to my family and me through the study and application of Christian Science, as taught by Mary Baker Eddy in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and her other writings.

It is with a grateful heart that I verify the above testimony of my wife. We are glad for the seeming trials that have led us to Christian Science and its healing message of Life, Truth, and Love.

I want to express gratitude for God's tender care, for Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and for Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science and Leader of the Christian Science movement.
