Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy...

Steven N. Waller

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy states: "The letter of Science plentifully reaches humanity to-day, but its spirit comes only in small degrees. The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science, is Love." A rather dramatic incident took place while I was serving in Vietnam that proved to me that though the spirit may come only in small degrees, it is sufficient to reverse adverse events.

One morning as I stepped out of my bunker, an enemy grenade explosion threw me several feet into the air. In my fear, I exclaimed, "I'm hurt! I'm hurt!" Immediately a passage from Science and Health came to my thought. It states: "When an accident happens, you think or exclaim, 'I am hurt!' Your thought is more powerful than your words, more powerful than the accident itself, to make the injury real.
