Inspired messages Our national political dialogue had become very troubling for me, but the July 2021 issue of the Journal included several articles that were inspired messages that spoke strongly to my concerns.

[Jan Klesse, “ The native language of Science and Health , ” Journal, June 2021] This article is such a help to those who have been longing to share Science and Health or who are praying for its reception.
