How I Found Christian Science June 6, 2016 ISSUE

A ‘walk through the fire’—and victory

Name Withheld

Christianity was always a part of my life, and growing up in our family church, I felt a deep, personal relationship to God.

Though I didn’t grow up in the Christian Science denomination, Christian Science came into my life when I was five years old. When my mother returned to work, I spent the morning and after-school hours with a Christian Science family. Looking back, I remember that my best friend and I repeated a prayer each day before school with her nana. And I remember my mother later sharing with me things that I’d said as a child, which related to spiritual healing. As a Christian Scientist now, I appreciate thinking of those early experiences with that loving family.
