William Shackle

My first experience of Christian Science healing came over ten years ago. I asked my wife, who had been attending Christian Science services for some while, if she would borrow the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, for me to read. I thought at the time that I should be able to point out to her the fallacies on which I believed this Science to be based.

The Preface and the first chapter on Prayer were a revelation to me, and I read the whole book within two to three weeks. Though I did not agree with, or understand, all that I read, I saw that the truths contained therein were undoubtedly logical, and the conclusions drawn therefrom were in accordance with the premises laid down regarding God and man.

During my reading of the book I was healed of defective eyesight, for which I had been wearing glasses for some while. Today my sight is excellent, and I have had no occasion to use glasses since.
