Some years ago I was seriously ill with what was diagnosed as an early stage of tuberculosis. A doctor told me I would have to have continuous bed rest for a long time. I was away from home and alone, and I was afraid of being sent to a sanitarium.

A friend, seeing my need, told me Christian Science could heal me. Later that same day I obtained a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I had no interest in the book whatsoever, but my friend was so sincere about recommending it that I decided to read it.

My interest was aroused when I read the first paragraph. The following sentences really awakened me (p. 1): "The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,—a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love" and "Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds."
