The Bible–dive in!

By Lyle Young

Christian Scientists are fishers of men. The Bible is our sea-beaten rock. It guides the fishermen. It stands the storm. It engages the attention and enriches the being of all men.

–Mary Baker Eddy, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 295

My earliest memories of the Bible are happy—receiving my own Bible as a Christmas gift, being given a Bible-based game (which I still have) by a Sunday School teacher for having memorized the order of the books of the Old Testament, going to Vacation Bible School—summer classes for kids to which I went with my German-Canadian Lutheran friends in rural Saskatchewan, Canada.
