How I Found Christian Science May 27, 2019 Issue

‘I felt my life was about to change’

Manuel Alejandro Mancillas Toledo

One night a few years ago while studying for a university course, I was listening to my radio and happened to tune in to the radio edition of The Herald of Christian Science. When I heard the testimonies of healing by Christian Scientists, and how they solved difficulties through prayer, as well as the concept that God is Love—all Love—I felt my life was about to change.

The spiritual ideas and inspiration these Christian Scientists shared on the program brought me profound joy because it felt as though in my heart I had always known these ideas and that they were true.

I prayed to find the book—Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy—mentioned on the program, because I felt sure that in its pages I would find out more about God and about how to pray. Months later, a book fair came to the university where I was pursuing my career; looking through the shelves there, I found the book. When I began reading it, my life gained significance and new meaning.
