The writing of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

By Robert Townsend Warneck

When Mary Baker Eddy was a young girl, her friends asked her what she was going to do when she grew up. She replied, "Write a book."  Irving C. Tomlinson, Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy, Amplified Edition (Boston: The Christian Science Publishing Society, 1996), p. 43 . Considering the restrictions on women in the 1820s, reaching such a goal was highly unlikely. And the fact that this book turned out to be an authoritative theological and scientific publication, as well as a treatise on healing, containing scientific, spiritual laws of harmony and wholeness, made her achievement all the more remarkable.

"Why don't you write it in a book, publish it, and give it to the world?"
