The study of Christian Science has brought me out of darkness and into the warm sunshine of learning more of who I really am as a child of God. And I must express my gratitude for this wonderful change in my life.

When I was in high school many years ago, before I'd ever heard of Christian Science, I began to suffer from seizures. At the time I learned to live with them. But finally, when I was in my twenties, I visited a doctor, and after a series of tests, he told me that the problem was epilepsy. He prescribed medicine which contained forms of barbiturates, and I began a long period of years of taking these pills and relying on them.

I first learned of Christian Science from an employer. Soon after, I had an overnight healing of a cold, with the help of a Christian Science practitioner—which was a real eye-opener. I had to find out more about this teaching. I then visited a Christian Science Reading Room, where I could ask questions and read about the possibility of being healed by God. Later I talked to a practitioner who was helpful in my search for an understanding of my true, spiritual being. This understanding, I knew, would enable me to live a truly normal life, without having to depend on prescribed drugs.
