Extracts from letters that tell about the spiritual discoveries and healing that the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, has brought into people's lives
I escaped from the genocide that took place in my country in 1972 .... I am a refugee in Rwanda and work there as a schoolteacher. It was about three months ago that I received Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy. I had the pleasure of reading and studying it along with the Bible with the help of the Christian Science Quarterly. I am now not only undertaking a deeper study but I am also striving to demonstrate what I am studying.
Before I got acquainted with Christian Science I thought that a powerful evil force was at work in this universe. Now thanks to Science I understand its unreality, therefore its nothingness. I understand how divine Science helps us to abandon the false testimony of the material senses. I am not only interested in your book but it is for me a friend, a guide, a comforter. Through it my heart is freed. I no longer feel that I am a refugee from yesterday, destined to failure and despair, but a refugee freed by the Christ.
