Testimonies of Healing

Verification of Healings

The healings we publish are verified by people who can vouch for the testifier or who know of the healing. Examples of Christian healing from individuals and families around the world have been published in the Christian Science periodicals for well over a century.

The most recently-published testimonies are at the top.

Healing of acute asthma

For many years I suffered from acute respiratory crises. At times, I would call the emergency services for help.

No more motion sickness

I had just completed Primary class instruction in Christian Science, a two-week course that helped me develop a deeper understanding of the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy and learn how to heal through prayer. Seeing more clearly that God is Truth and the source of true thought really challenged me to think differently.

Timidity in speaking healed

When I was in my early teens, a family member cautioned me not to talk too much because, as he put it, no one cared to hear what I had to say. Because I trusted this individual, I heeded that incorrect advice, which resulted in my being very quiet and shy well into adulthood.

Healed of Severe Internal Pain

As a lifelong Christian Scientist, I have had many wonderful physical healings through the application of the truths taught in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. One particular example of healing has long served as a source of inspiration for me.

Healing of severe headaches

Growing up in a household with two devoted Christian Scientists, I was grateful for my parents’ example of commitment to Christian Science and demonstration of it, but I hadn’t really made it my own. I regularly attended church and read the weekly Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly, but because I hadn’t had any significant challenges, I more or less went along and simply hoped that I would know enough to address a big problem if one came along.

Deep wound healed

One day while enjoying an afternoon ride, my horse slipped off a low footbridge and we both fell into the mucky streambed. Before I could get to my feet, the horse stepped on my lower leg to climb back up onto the bridge.

Resentment gone, growth healed

Some years ago a growth appeared on my abdomen. I didn’t pay any attention to it until it became inflamed and painful.

Internal pain healed

Sitting stiffly on the edge of my couch, I was praying to find relief from intense internal pain. But as the night progressed, the problem worsened.

Healed after a fall

When I was a teenager, the lady who rented the upstairs of our home introduced my family to Christian Science. She was a delightful person.

Rising out of grief

In the spring of 2019 my husband passed on. This was rather sudden, and it marked the beginning of a very significant lesson and healing for me over nearly three years.
