"Oh, give me the book...

        ...that can do that for me!" a close friend of mine said when she was in an extreme state of ill health.  This woman was teaching school in a small Kansas town when she contracted tuberculosis. Her father who was a medical doctor tried to cure his daughter, but could not.  She was sent to a sanatorium and there given only six months more to live.

        One day someone came to see her and told her about the wonderful healings taking place through the reading and pondering of the truths in Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, whereupon my friend uttered the beginning words of this blog post.  The book was brought to her, and within a short time, this woman walked out of that sanatorium completely free of TB.

        Not only this, but she wanted others to have the glorious freedom Christ-healing had brought her. The rest of her life was devoted to the public practice of Christian Science. Thousands of men, women and children could testify to what this practitioner's understanding of God and man did for them.

        And what it did for them, and for my friend, it can do for all "honest seekers for Truth" (to use Mrs. Eddy's words.)
