How Christian Science Heals Bodies and Restores Lives
From hard rocker who overdosed on LSD, to renowned Christian Science teacher and healer, Ginny Luedeman has spent the last 30+ years spreading the power of divine Love and seeing it flourish in the lives of others. In Ginny's own words, "God's love has weeded my garden of thoughts. What isn't a blessing has been gently removed and healed, one thought at a time, so the good in me can grow more freely. I've felt like a flower, unfolding in the bright sunshine of God's Mothering care, where all are embraced and forever loved." Come feel embraced and loved, as we learn how our bodies heal and how our lives can be restored through the power of Christian Science.
