Product Description
Product Description
This book offers a practical and insightful explanation of the spiritual teachings of the Bible. 'Heal the sick...' These words of Jesus are a reminder that we all possess the ability to heal ourselves, our families, and our world. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" - first written by teacher, author, and healer Mary Baker Eddy over 125 years ago - offers readers an insightful explanation of the spiritual teachings of the bible, revealing the key to the divine Science that, when practiced properly and thoughtfully, can bring health and harmony to all aspects of our lives and the lives of those around us. Fully revised and updated, this smart new paperback edition includes over one-hundred pages of letters from those who have experienced healing, hope, and comfort through reading and studying Mary Baker Eddy's message.
About the Author
Author, teacher, and healer, Mary Baker Eddy questioned conventional views about science, theology, and medicine, and for years searched the Bible for answers. She writes, "In the year 1866, I discovered the Christ Science or divine laws of Life, Truth, and Love, and named my discovery Christian Science." From that time forward, she devoted her life to sharing this Science of Christianity with the world.

Born as a christian scientist 18yr ago descended from my great grandmother,i have lived with this book all my life, and the other works of mary baker eddy, such as her loving hymns and her other teachings.The truths in this book are fundamental to my way of life. Reading this book has not only healed physical ailments such as chicken pox allowing me never to have needed to take medicine and my grandmother being healed of the incurable disease of cancer within a very short space of time, with no medicine, it has also helped me improve friendships, to stop becoming afraid of exams, as we are at one with God who is all intelligent, it has also helped my find lost items, because of the knowledge that God is everywhere so nothing can be lost. This books ideas are not new, they have been around forever, and are based on the healings of Christ, and Divine Love. This book teaches you how to let go of your physical senses and see life as eternal and spiritual. Although i still don't understand all the ideas on this book as the are so revolutional, i am continuing to learn. I reccommend this book and other Mary Baker Eddy teachings for anyone who wants to improve their life, has a deep yearning for the truth, or just feels their is something missing in your life. I couldn't live without this book, and have learnt so much more about my relationship with God
Format:Hardcover
This book is a revelation to anyone who feels the need for guidance in placing their lives, feelings and thoughts in a positive order.
A number one book that should be on everybody's shelf!

This is the only guaranteed authentic paperback version of Science and Health on Amazon's web site
27 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Science and Health can, and will, if you stay with it, change your life for the better in ways beyond what you can currently dream. It has done so with my life, and with thousands upon thousands of others, around the globe, for over a century.
However, this particular copy, to my knowledge, is the only Authorized paperback version of Science and Health (by Mary Baker Eddy) available for sale on the Amazon web site. Authorized, in this case, means authorized by the Christian Science Board of Directors - i.e. the Directors of the Christian Science Church which Mary Baker Eddy founded. Since the Church's copyright on the book has expired, others may legally print the book, but the only way to be absolutely certain you are getting what the author, Mary Baker Eddy intended, is to purchase a copy that has been authorized by, and published by, The Christian Science Board of Directors. For example, many of the other, no doubt well-meaning publishers who have copied this book, have left off certain key chapters.
The other way to determine whether the copy has been authorized by this Board is to examine if the circular Cross and Crown seal appears on the front of the book. The Church's registered trademark for this Cross and Crown seal is still in force, and that also assures the authenticity is genuine.
Now, buy it, and read it at a pace you are comfortable with. A few pages before turning the light out at night is one good way to begin. Be prepared to be challenged as to your core beliefs as to what is real and what is unreal. It matters not whether you agree with everything you read, but it would be well to place your primary focus on what you do agree with, setting aside for the moment what you do not understand and cannot accept. In most cases, on the second time around, what you had thought was a problem will simply have disappeared, and your happiness, and general well-being will have moved forward in the process.
Enjoy. You are about to take up the read of your life.

A BOOK FOR "HONEST SEEKERS"
12 May 2005
Format:Hardcover
I first read this book through in 1980 and have have read it again many times since. I've always been deeply moved by the fact that the author committed its pages to "honest seekers for Truth," because that's what the book delivers.
Mind you, this is more of a spiritual adventure than just a good read. It's also not for the faint of heart. It challenges the conventional wisdom on subjects such as science, theology, and medicine, as much today as when it was first published over 150 years ago. That's why, I suppose, it is so controversial.
I wasn't raised in Christian Science. My family is very involved in medicine and, although not a sickly child, from time to time I was made to endure injections and medical treatments which were painful, effective, and produced negative side-effects. Deep down I felt there was something better, especially when I saw family members pass on under conventional medical care. Over a period of years, through study and research, I began to see clearly a connection between mind, body and spirit. I experienced in various ways how my thought influenced my health and sense of well-being.
Two years before I was introduced Science and Health I was diagnosed with a condition the physician considered incurable. I was looking for a more hopeful outlook in alternative medicine and was coping with diet, vitamins and alot of prayer. However, when I began reading Science and Health, I realized that I could be healed. I dispensed with the vitamins and diet, continued to read Science and Health, to pray and be prayed for. I was completely healed in 2 weeks. That was almost 25 years ago, and I have had no relapse.
The book clearly explains a method of healing that can be learned by anyone, of any religious persuasion, or none at all. What's more, there are no harmful side effects from reading and praying! The author writes, "There is moral freedom in Soul." I take this to mean freedom from coercion, and freedom from suffering. If you're at all interested, please do buy this book. You won't regret it, and it may be the best purchase you've ever made. It was for me.

A Masterpiece
6 July 2006
Format:Hardcover
It is interesting the way the world is changing. This book was "way out there" 150 years ago - even 100. Maybe even 20. Today, most people I listen to tend to agree with the premises of the book if terms are modern and understood. The world is approaching the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy while not giving her credit. And that is OK. Apparently she never expected for all people to become Christian Scientists. She seemed to know that whatever Truth is, if it is truth, people will arrive at it by different roads and that is fine. It is interesting to me that people are approaching what Eddy said so many years ago, and most are not members of the Christian Science church.
Various respected people with large followings are using the books ideas as their own. Again, that would probably be fine with Eddy.
Leading philosophers, accomplished physical scientists and the like are coming to the conclusion that matter is not what it seems to be, that thoughts are things and that thoughts determine experience and make a life and that there is a divine Intelligence that made/makes all of the amazing order in the universe. Call it what you will. Folks can tap into it. If it seems to fail someone from time to time, it might be an absence of faith. Isn't trust the basis of Faith?
I give it 5 big stars. It is a book WAY ahead of its time and a book that makes people in general think. Nothing wrong with that!
