A journal is a record. It’s an accounting of important things to be remembered. This one you’re reading now—The Christian Science Journal—puts “on record the divine Science of Truth” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 353). It was specifically designed by its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, “to bring health and happiness to all households wherein it is permitted to enter, and to confer increased power to be good and to do good” (Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, p. 262).
How precious, promising, and practical is this Journal to those who read it. Its verified accounts of present-day Christian healing—of lives restored, redeemed, and regenerated by God’s great love—inspire hope in the reader, especially in the accounts where all hope seemed lost. These testimonies of healing give spiritual strength where only weakness seemed to be, and provide answers where none seemed possible.
How? Why? Because each healing recorded in this Journal is tangible proof that God’s great love is just as almighty, just as provable, and just as alive and active in the hearts, minds, and lives of people today as it was to people whose lives are recorded in the Bible.
