The study of Christian Science...

Barbara L. Keaton with contributions from Charles E. Keaton, Jr.

The study of Christian Science has brought many blessings to me, one of which is a love for the King James Version of the Bible. At one time I avoided certain Bible passages because they seemed too profound or contradictory. I now enjoy seeking the meaning of such passages and have been successful because of what I have learned in the textbook. Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

Religion is now the most practical and intelligent aid I have in living my daily life. When confused by trouble or sickness, I know I have a quick solution or healing available in my understanding of God and man as revealed through Christian Science.

Of great importance to me is the knowledge that the Christ is God's power and nature made manifest to mankind. I have benefited from an understanding of this in my human experience. I awoke one morning with a paralyzing pain in my back and called to my husband for prayerful assistance. He repeated "the scientific statement of being" from page 468 of Science and Health; this reversed the belief that man is a mortal, and hence subject to pain. One sentence of the statement reads, "Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness." My husband declared that man can only know and experience what is Godlike.
