A beacon of light for honest seekers of Truth
My introduction to Christian Science was the fulfillment of the biblical promise “Ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
Many years ago, when my father was ill and not expected to survive, I began to think deeply about the meaning of life, and wonder who we really are and what our purpose is for existing. Although I was raised as a Christian and loved the Scriptures, I found no satisfactory answers to the questions that were constantly crowding my mind. I started going to my church every day, but this did not help, and I always left feeling uninspired. Then I thought I would research other religions and read some literature on New Age spirituality, but again encountered a blank wall.
Finally, in utter desperation to know the truth, I turned wholeheartedly to God and asked Him humbly and fervently to show me the way. Immediately I heard these two words: “Christian Science.” I was taken aback and wondered what this meant. Then I remembered that my mother had mentioned, when I was a child, that a couple she knew were practicing Christian Science. However, we had long since moved from that neighborhood and had lost touch with these friends. I felt I had no way of finding out anything about Christian Science.
