A LITTLE BOOK

Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy

From the July 1975 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Can a book be Gilead's balm
healing the hurt of all mankind?

Can a book be a guiding star
brightening the path through dark chaos
for weary seekers searching for the
simplicity of Christ, Truth?

Can a book be a pastor
shepherding a flock through day's trials
comforting through night's alarms?

Yes.
The little book can be these things.
It is the heavenly evangel
bringing God's allness
His nearness/His love
into the thought
into the heart
into the life of its reader.
