From the readers

Russell Whittaker

Two great reasons!

In the June 4, 2018, Sentinel, Cheryl Ranson addresses the question “Why should a person diagnosed as having an incurable disease read a Christian Science magazine?” And in the July 2 Sentinel, Roger Gordon answers the question “Why should anyone be interested in reading about metaphysical healing?”

My grandmother often told me about how Christian Science was introduced to our family. Her mom suffered from what, today, might be known as migraines. My great-grandmother would have to spend days at a time in a darkened room until the “sick headaches” passed.

One day someone gave her some Christian Science magazines. She read them and was healed. She began to attend Christian Science church services and became the pianist. Her husband started going to services and became the soloist. My grandmother was enrolled in Sunday School. Since then, Christian Science has blessed my family in countless ways.

So, “Why should anyone be interested in reading about metaphysical healing?” and “Why should a person diagnosed as having an incurable disease read a Christian Science magazine?” Spiritual growth and permanent healing are two great reasons!
