Dear Reader, That’s why we publish the family of Christian Science periodicals—to inspire and empower readers with the healing power of Christ, Truth, as revealed in the Bible and explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of the divine Science of Christ. Individuals who write for, edit, or publish these publications have experienced Christ’s healing power in their own lives, and they simply want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to learn of and experience this healing Truth in their lives.

My friend and I enjoy running together and had an opportunity to run a half-marathon. While we had never tried running such a distance and didn’t have a runner’s training plan, the one thing we did have was some understanding of Christian Science.

I have worked in Christian Science Reading Rooms for many years and enjoy the adventure of connecting with all kinds of people. Through my many conversations with those who walk through the door, I’ve learned so much about God’s goodness and love.

But what if that isn’t always forthcoming, or doesn’t take the form that meets our need? Where can we turn to find reliable support?  Take the following example: An innocent man, a teacher, reaches out to three of his best students for support at a time of great need—the hours before his execution.

Discovering the beautiful, spiritual, God-created universe that is our original and only real home means in some degree going through a refugee experience in this human scene. That is, we all must leave behind a fallible sense of mere national attachment and seek a purer, more enduring home in God.

The author points out that the spiritual reality of God’s kingdom might be missed if we don’t have a good understanding of what it is.

We hear the phrase “Just believe” a lot today, especially in advertising. Sometimes it’s linked with “dream” and “imagine,” suggesting we believe in some Santa Clausy kind of thing—sheer fantasy.

Do you remember a moment, maybe in your childhood, when you felt really good because of something good you had done? Maybe an adult told you how good you were, or maybe you felt an intrinsic sense of goodness about something you said or did.   I remember the first time I experienced this feeling.
