Nearly one hundred years ago my grandfather was introduced to Christian Science. His letters to his family in London, England, saved by my mother, tell of some of his early experiences of spiritual healing. More of the family healings are related in a testimony written by my aunt and published in The Christian Science Journal.

I attended a Christian Science Sunday School from the time I was a small child. While growing up, I saw my sister and two brothers quickly healed of various illnesses, including scarlet fever, and I, too, was healed many times through Christian Science.

One healing that continues to inspire me took place when I was a college student. One Christmas holiday I eagerly looked forward to being a bridesmaid in my best friend's formal wedding. The night before the wedding, I woke feeling very ill. In the morning, my mother telephoned for help from a Christian Science practitioner. As the day progressed it seemed unlikely that I would be well in time for the wedding. The practitioner said she would continue to pray and asked that I consider two verses from Isaiah: "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. ... For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."
