When I was a teen-ager, I became bedfast with constant coughing. There was also a severe weight loss. The doctor in my small town said I would live only a few more weeks.

A neighbor's daughter, who had studied Christian Science less than a year, arrived from another city for a visit. She asked my grandmother if she could pray for me, and Grandmother agreed. I was healed and back in high school a month after she started to pray for me. I also learned how to pray for myself and found that many times, in classes, answers to difficult test questions came as I prayed. Evenings after school I worked in a little office. With my first paycheck I bought a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

I was healed of deep, prostrating grief when my dear grandmother passed on. Another time, while I was away at summer school, after calling a practitioner I'd never met I had an instantaneous healing of apparent appendicitis.
