Several years ago I began an in-depth study of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy with a deep desire to get a more comprehensive understanding of its overall meaning, to understand clearly the importance of each chapter and why each one is included. So many statements in Science and Health were familiar to me from studying the Bible Lessons outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly, but I wanted a clearer understanding of their context within the book.
About a week after starting this project it was necessary for me to spend an entire day cleaning up liquid epoxy from the garage floor. A few days later my hands and feet broke out in a rash. The rash became inflamed and spread to other parts of my body.
My feet became too swollen to wear shoes, so I decided to stay home and continue my reading. There were many helpful statements from Science and Health, and I received some temporary relief, although the condition grew worse.
