When our first daughter was...
When our first daughter was about five weeks old, she became very ill, and the doctor rushed her off to a children's hospital and placed her in the hands of a child specialist. The complaint was spasms of the stomach, and the specialist said we might be able to take her home in about three months' time. At this stage my mother-in-law recommended that we obtain Christian Science help. We agreed, since we were willing to try anything, although all I had ever heard about Christian Science was adverse criticism.
My wife and I procured the Bible and the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. With the help of a practitioner, a remarkable change took place, and soon our little girl was taken home and was quickly healed.
To me this healing was amazing, and there and then I decided to continue this study. My first major healing was that of the need of wearing tinted glasses, which I had used for eight years. I broke my glasses twice and after the second time decided that now was my opportunity to prove Christian Science healing for myself. That was over ten years ago, and I have never worn glasses again and have been perfectly free.
