Not long ago a Christian Science practitioner called me and asked, "How can I do more effective healing?" I told her that was exactly the subject I had been pondering ever since I entered the public practice.
What took me into the practice was really twofold. First, I felt the healing approach of Christian Science was more needed than anything else in the world. This was a service I could pour myself into without reservation. Second, I felt that Christian Science presented the truth about reality. I was hungry to discover more about this truth. I felt the public practice would allow me to explore it to the fullest degree.
How can we do even more effective healing work? In answer to this question I told the practitioner there was a verse from the Bible I had been thinking about. It's from Isaiah. Mary Baker Eddy quotes it at the beginning of the chapter "Recapitulation" in Science and Health. It reads, "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little." Isa. 28:10; Science and Health, p. 465. To me this says that there's an answer to each problem as we go along. I find this very reassuring. We don't need any big, earth-shaking answers in order to progress in our healing work.
