When I saw my mother have a healing of what is considered a fatal disease through Christian Science treatment, I took a copy of Science and Health and read it from cover to cover. I did not understand all that I read, but I agreed with most of it. I accepted that God was the Father and Mother of man.

I asked a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me, as at the time I had only a few months until the delivery of my first baby. She agreed. Through our discussions I learned how to let go of the idea that I was a personal creator, and I turned my child over to God's care before she was born. The birth was harmonious and I delivered a healthy girl. During this time, as I read a passage in Science and Health with the marginal heading, "Scientific obstetrics," this statement stood out to me: "When this new birth takes place, the Christian Science infant is born of the Spirit, born of God, and can cause the mother no more suffering" (p. 463).

Twenty-two months later I had a healthy boy. A practitioner also helped me in prayer for this birth. All through their growing years these children proved the power of prayer in their own lives and had only Christian Science treatment for healing.
