Tom McElroy, Ginny Luedeman

Ask your questions. We'll print some answers. Tom McElroy, a Christian Science practitioner from Boston, Massachusetts, and Ginny Luedeman, a Christian Science practitioner and teacher from Salem, Oregon, share their responses to this question from a teen. 

Q: I really want to read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I know I could learn so much from it, but each time I've tried, I haven’t been able to get past the first chapter. What can I do?

A: I think you can consider that very desire within you to read the book a calling, a way of knowing there’s good there for you. It’s divine Love’s way of saying, “I have something here for you,” and that you’re right not to let anything stand in your way from engaging with that message.
