From the January 2024 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Mimi Oka, “Praying for a family member’s safety,” Journal, November 2023

I love the answer God gave Mimi, in the form of “A Rule for Motives and Acts” in the Church Manual, as she was praying about how to address evil more deeply. Her subsequent realization helped me and will help so many people. In numerous African countries (where I lived for many years)—and probably a lot of other places too—I found that the belief in black magic (a belief of an evil power able to act) is at the back of many cases. I see now that Mary Baker Eddy was addressing and handling that belief, and showing us how to do it too, in the “Rule for Motives and Acts.”

Alistair Budd, “Gratitude and the joy of praising God,” Journal, November 2023 

Just what I needed to help with overcoming fear and develop my one-on-one relationship with God. Praise God!

Judi Bell, “God’s promises and our spiritual advancement,” Journal, November 2023

A most excellent article. A step-by-step instruction manual to spiritual advancement. So very grateful for this article. Thank you!

Joni Overton-Jung, “Angels know how to find you,” Journal, October 2023

What a powerful poem, applicable to the false sense of darkness, history, and helplessness that many are experiencing right now. Whether the issues are war waged in the Middle East or Ukraine, or doubt, depression, and lack of self-worth, this poem is a factual statement of everyone’s true, blessed being.

Marshall Reddick, “Long-standing conditions healed," Journal, October 2023

Thanks for this clearly stated testimony. It is so helpful to read how a clearer understanding of reality heals!

John Biggs, “Don’t be deceived!” Journal, October 2023 

Reading this interview, I had a wonderful healing of a painful neck. I had been trying to figure out why I was in such pain, when the angel message of not believing the false “performance” resonated with me and I quickly changed my thought. I was free of the pain in a very short time. I am very grateful for this interview.
