My grandmother was introduced to Christian Science when she needed healing of a hernia. She was healed as she read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Her understanding of Christian Science and of her unbroken relationship to God grew, and she relied on Christian Science for many decades. 

As a young girl, my mother was enrolled in Christian Science Sunday School and later became a dedicated student of Christian Science. She had many healings through applying the spiritual truths taught by Christ Jesus and elucidated in Christian Science. My dad also attended Christian Science Sunday School during his formative years, learning how to put into practice what we learn in the Bible and the Christian Science textbook. 

As Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health, “The entire education of children should be such as to form habits of obedience to the moral and spiritual law, with which the child can meet and master the belief in so-called physical laws, a belief which breeds disease” (p. 62). Science and Health also says: “Parents should teach their children at the earliest possible period the truths of health and holiness. . . .
