Karl W. Keferstein

I was raised in another denomination, but I did not acquire any particular interest in religion. As a young man, I led a happy-go-lucky life amid all the enticements of a big city. During that time I became ill and had to take medicine daily.

As I very much wanted to expand my knowledge of English, I found a language teacher who had lived in England for many years. He was an excellent instructor. It was evident to him that I didn't feel well. One day while we were talking, he told me about Christian Science.

When I learned that God governs all of His creation, it was as if scales fell from my eyes. My thought opened up to undreamed-of opportunities. After I had begun to study Christian Science and had had some meaningful conversations with my friend, I grasped that God is forever near and all-powerful, and that we can turn to Him for healing. I no longer took medicine, and my health was restored.
