Family protected while living abroad

Mary Ann Melvin

I am long overdue in expressing my gratitude for Christian Science and the health and happiness it has brought into my life. My parents were not Christian Scientists, and I first heard of this teaching through my older brother’s girlfriend. She informed him that she would not consider being “serious” about him unless he read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. She gave him a copy, and he read it.

He was so heartily convinced of the truth it revealed that he gave it to my mother, who had suffered from a chronic respiratory ailment for years. He said to her, “This is what you need!” She was healed by the time she finished the book. From that time on, our family became students of Christian Science.

In my adult years I was blessed with a marriage to a wonderful man. When our children were young, we had horses they enjoyed riding. One day my son’s horse bolted while he was standing on the ground and holding him by the reins. As the horse bolted, he kicked up his hind legs, striking my son in the head.
