I feel so grateful for Christian Science because through it I have found God.

One day several years ago a friend suggested we attend a Christian Science church service. I had been reading many books about religions and was eager to learn about God. I was searching for a deeper meaning to life, but I hadn't really found it. So we went. And we continued to go. I liked the quiet order of the Sunday service and listened intently to what was read from the Bible and from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. One member was especially friendly every time I came. She even gave me a subscription to The Christian Science Monitor, which touched me deeply. Then I borrowed copies of the Bible and Science and Health from a Christian Science Reading Room and began regular study of the weekly Bible Lessons outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly.

Soon I was also reading Mrs. Eddy's other writings. Sometimes I would read a section of the Bible Lesson and just think about it the rest of the day. During this time I felt I was being changed within, and I loved the direction Christian Science was bringing to my life. I read testimonies in the Sentinel about people experiencing the healing presence of God. I really longed to feel this closeness.
