'OUR THOUGHTS OF THE BIBLE UTTER OUR LIVES'

When I was a child, my mother would read the Bible to me and share insights from Mary Baker Eddy's book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, which gave me a love of the Bible.

One summer during my college years, I took Primary class instruction in Christian Science, probing those books in a way that deepened my interest in the nature of God's reality. Each year the class was given an assignment centered on the Bible and on Mrs. Eddy's writings.

The first year we read through Mrs. Eddy's published books; the second year, through the Bible. And as years went along, I began to read through these books every year. I found that the key to such reading is discipline—the simple discipline of doing just a little each day. Without fail! And I found that reading these books as a whole provides a valuable and different perspective from reading parts of them focused on particular words or themes, though that approach to study also has great benefits.
