Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy contains healing answers for parents and children. The following account, from a writer in Australia, shows how being alert to opportunities to share the book 's message helped bring spiritual peace to a mother and her son.
As I walked on the grounds of my son's school with a friend, it was evident that she was dealing with a behavioural problem regarding her son. That morning I had been praying deeply to be ready and willing to express God's love to others wherever it might be needed.
I shared with my friend the knowledge that God is Love, that He cares for all of His children, and that the expression of His love brings healing. I offered to get her a copy of Science and Health and explained that the book would explain these concepts to her. She told me she knew of Christian Science, had recently tried to find our "little book shop" (the Christian Science Reading Room), and was praying earnestly for help and direction in her life. I was in awe of God's guidance for both of us.
