Kenny Simmons | Evanston, Illinois, USA

An addict finds a way out

“I had lost everything.”

Kenny Simmons had hit rock-bottom. After fifteen years as a drug addict, he wanted something different, something better, and he prayed for God to show him the way. Simmons’s search led him to Christian Science, where he learned of a God who loved him, and who’d made him in His image. The result? Healing, yes. But it was bigger than that. In Simmons’s own words: “After my encounter with Christian Science,” he says, “my life changed completely.”
