In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

From The Sowetan (South Africa), June 16, 1991
There's nothing wrong with being trustful—when we trust in almighty Spirit. In fact, this writer saw her trust break through with healing.

To be transformed, to put the past behind us—these are more than faint hopes. They are the effects of Christ, Truth, in our lives.

Progressive prayer

Progressive prayer This is a season when people make commitments to start fresh. A good place to begin is a new view of God and what He has created us to be.
About our cover—Something in the human heart wants to break free of the old mental grooves—the old habits, fears, and reactions.
What opens for us the truth of the Bible is the very Spirit that impelled the record in the first place.
It's easy to think that if we just keep changing our situation, things have to get better eventually. This writer has learned that something else has to change.
When we look at spiritual healing as something extraordinary, we tend to miss the Science of Christ, which makes healing possible.

The gift of belonging

A spiritual insight into the message of Christmas carried the author through a challenge in the middle of summer.
Christmas seems to be a time when people are more willing to make room for the miracle of unchanging love. But isn't it time we saw this love as God's law instead of as mystery?
About our cover — Each time we take a genuinely fresh look at the Christmas story, we encounter the authority and the authenticity of God's love.

Evan's prayer

God is as close, as close, as close as we are to us.
