A journalist prays at gunpoint

“I needed something and I was grabbing for God.”

Caught at a war-zone roadblock, Clara Germani was grabbing for God—even as the frightened soldier was gripping his gun. But as a Christian Scientist, Germani says, her response wasn’t just ritualistic. She was looking for a solution—and she found one. Germani changed her perspective from fear and anger to a trust in the love of a Father-Mother God. And this had a tangible effect. In fact, it saved her life.
