As a teenager, Judy Olson was given a copy of Mary Baker Eddy’s Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by her grandmother. One day, ten years later, she finally decided to read it through from beginning to end. Little did she guess how that inquiry into the truth of being would launch her onto a new and challenging path. The spiritual journey she embarked on that day eventually led her to become a Journal-listed Christian Science practitioner in 1982 and a teacher of Christian Science in 1997. She has also spoken to audiences around the country as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. But it all started with a simple yearning to find a deeper meaning in life.
