Receiving a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy can profoundly change an individual's life. I have witnessed how Science and Health has helped improve people's circumstances, their health, and their understanding of their relation to God. And the joy of sharing Science and Health helped show me that I wanted to fill my days with the full-time activity of healing others through prayer.
Some years ago I gave a copy of Science and Health to the man who was to become my husband. The new views of God this book brought to him completely transformed his life and our relationship. As a result of the impact Science and Health had on him, my practice of Christian Science grew. He asked me to pray for him on various occasions, and the healings he experienced helped develop my love of praying for others. My husband has gone on to give many copies of Science and Health to others, and he has also devoted his full time to healing others through prayer.
Another person to whom I gave a copy of Science and Health found that her health and the well-being of her family immediately improved. This family experienced many healings, and the mother would call me to pray for her and for her children when she felt the need. This woman has had numerous occasions herself to share Science and Health, and she is also healing others through prayer.
