I, among many, have found enormous inspiration from the healings given in the last 100 pages of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. These people from all walks of life, with myriad challenges facing them--some dire--were delivered from their suffering from just reading and thinking about the divine truths in this wonderful book. And many of the healings related are about eye problems of varying descriptions. I have heard people say, well that was in the late 1800's or early 1900's. What about Christian Science healing these days? Give me an up-to-date example of what your religion can do. I am happy to do so.
Just had a phone call from a friend I hadn't talked with in a long while and what she shared was most uplifting to me, and may prove so to some of you reading this blog. In her office work, found it necessary to start wearing glasses. She wore glasses for some years. During this time, she pored over the Christian Science textbook mentioned above, just to get an deeper understanding of her relationship to God as His spiritual, perfect child. There was no thought of reading and praying in order to heal flawed eyesight, this woman told me, but just to grow in spiritual understanding. Well, very recently this student of Christian Science was able to lay off glasses completely! Just didn't need them anymore. Of course, she was overjoyed at this further proof ( she has had many during years of studying Christian Science) of just what God can do for us when we gain a knowledge of the Christianly scientific truths our Master, Christ Jesus, knew.
So yes, Christian Science is healing in this day and age. And it is doing so from just thoughtfully reading Mary Baker Eddy's masterwork.
