Testimonies of Healing

I am happy to confirm the healing given in my wife's testimony, and to express my gratitude for it. — R.

Five  generations of my family have been healed and blessed by the application of the rules of Christian Science. For many years it has been the rock upon which we have stood, and sickness, lack, discord, and depression have been overcome by the truth of its teachings.

I came into Christian Science as a natural result of seeking the truth. From the time I was a young child, I had many disappointments and much sorrow, and it seemed to me that there was very little in this world worth living for.

I was brought up in a very strict home. Ritual and creed formed our religion, and we were not encouraged to think for ourselves.

I wish to express gratitude to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for her explanation in Science and Health of the two accounts of creation in Genesis, the false and the true. Although I had been studying Christian Science for about fifteen years and had had many healings, there was a fear at the back of my thought of the change of life.

I wish to express earnest gratitude for a recent healing. When I was attempting to light a gas oven, there was an explosion, which singed my hair, and burned my right hand and arm severely.

For seven years it was my happy privilege to be a pupil in a Christian Science Sunday School, for which no words can ever sufficiently express my gratitude. I was taught there the fundamental truths of Christian Science, to love and obey its rules, and to revere and honor its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy.

During my last year in high school, I was invited to attend the Sunday school of The Mother Church. The Sunday school teacher taught me how to study the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly and lovingly encouraged me to persevere, even though what I was reading was not at first clear to me.

I am very grateful for Christian Science because it has taught me, as seen in the following experience, that God does take care of His children. For a number of years I held a responsible position with a large company, whose business methods were extremely material.

When I first heard of Christian Science I was on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown. A practitioner gave us some copies of The Herald of Christian Science [German edition] to read, and I read them eagerly.
