Scientific prayer changed my life
I learned about Christian Science from a friend in high school. I was an active member of a Protestant church and was concerned that my friend declined an aspirin when she had a headache. She explained that she was a Christian Scientist and was accustomed to turning to God for healing. I began to read about Christian Science so I could help her see what I believed to be the fallacy of this “dangerous” religion.
Over several months, we had a lot of conversations about God and our relationship to Him, and I was also able to ask questions of my friend’s mother, who was a Christian Science practitioner. But I continued to try to reason my friend out of her faith.
