"What are Christian Scientists like?"

Joyce K. Marin

During dinner with me, a friend asked me how I had found peace in my life. I had to tell her the truth. I had to tell her that I had found it by reading Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy.

I explained how much turmoil had been going on in my life at the time I first read this book. I had changed jobs and had moved to a new apartment. Each night my mind would race, and I would have difficulty sleeping. I would reach for the book and read at random until my thought calmed and the tension drained.
