How I Found Christian Science October 9, 2017 Issue

How I found home

ScheIla Ferreira

Christian Science came into my life about ten years ago while I was living abroad for a long stretch. I found out about it through a Christian Science Sentinel magazine that was given to me. I liked what I read in the magazine so much that I immediately looked for the nearest church. I found the church and, consequently, a Christian Science Reading Room, which I loved. So many resources! It was like finding a treasure chest—actually, a room full of treasures.

At the time, I was living what I would call a troubled life. I had lost my peace. Among other things, I had to move from my home (and for me home is heaven). So, my son, who was only six at the time, and I went to live with a couple of friends of mine. I am immensely grateful to God, and to those two people, for meeting my family’s need. We remained in their home for almost a year.

During this period I read the Christian Science Bible Lessons and as much Christian Science literature as I could, especially the periodicals, where I learned how Christian Scientists pray.
