Great changes are going on in our world. Revolutionary changes. And yet in many cases they seem to be going largely unrecognized. This is a transformation that can't be easily quantified or analyzed. But it can be felt—by those who have hearts. The effects are visible—to those whose senses are open to the dawn of truth.
This transformation isn't happening because of market forces or political upheavals, nor is it the outcome of armed conflict or the output of think tanks, laboratories, or seminars. The greatest change of our times is going on in the realm of human consciousness, and the agent of change is a book.
At first glance, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy is an unlikely candidate for a revolutionary manifesto. It contains little that could be called mere theory, offers no political slogans, no propaganda. It's not a book about revolution; rather, it's a book that—pondered, understood, and applied—is impelling, compelling, and propelling radical regeneration and spiritual progress in human lives. Sick people are being healed by reading it. Those who've been prisoners to self-destructive sin are finding freedom. All because a woman so loved God, and so loved the Bible and the human family it was written to liberate, that she gave her whole being to a search for the spiritual meaning of the Scriptures.
