Christian Science found me through the recommendation of a loving Christian Scientist who proposed its healing for my father, who was at that time suffering severely from rectal trouble.
Articles from members of The Mother Church and good testimonies from those healed by Christian Science are always welcomed for consideration by the Editors.
