Our family was introduced to Christian Science when my grandfather was dying of tuberculosis. Someone directed him to a Christian Science practitioner and he was healed, going on to live a long and happy life. But each one of us has to make Christian Science our own, and I found my conviction and calling in my early twenties through in-depth study and prayer when I was expecting my first child.

When I was growing up, Christian Science was at the center of family life. Both of my parents were Christian Science practitioners, and I dutifully attended Sunday School.
