Christian Science has become the mainstay of my life

Donna F. Summerhays

Christian Science has become the mainstay of my life. My dear parents were pulled by two different faiths, and my early memories of religious training were ones of fear, of a human-like God and a man born in sin.

I picked up a copy of the Sentinel in the city bus station one day when I was a young teenager. That was my initial contact with a whole new way of thinking, which would lead me to slow, steady growth in spiritual understanding to this day.

When my first marriage ended, a practitioner helped me to heal the sadness and pain that appeared to come from the unkindness of another person. At that point I began to attend church unfailingly, and continued to read and study a section each day from the weekly Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly. A wonderful marriage, now in its twenty-sixth year, has been mine, along with good employment, happy relationships, and the supply of my needs. All this, I sincerely believe, came to me as a result of a growing understanding of God, and of my relation to Him as His spiritual idea.
