My sister's children are in college, and mine are in high school and junior high. Over the years we've both learned that turning to God for guidance has enabled us to raise healthy and happy kids and to have a more harmonious home and family. My sister and I were brought up to love God, and it has always been natural for us to trust the Bible's accounts of God's care for His creation. Another book that has helped us understand God is Science and Health with key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. It illuminates the Bible.
When my sister suggested that we read Science and Health through each month during the school year as a spiritual support for our children, I heartily agreed. Our mom decided to join us.
When Mrs. Eddy was revising this book, she gathered together 84 testimonies that had been previously verified and published in the Christian Science periodicals, and included them in a chapter called "Fruitage." These were accounts of healings experienced simply by reading Science and Health! A few of these early testifiers stated that they didn't even understand what they were reading at the time. And others pointed out that neither the Bible nor religion had held any interest for them prior to reading Science and Health. Yet in every case they were healed — some instantly — of conditions such as broken bones, terminal diseases, hereditary difficulties, growths.
