How I Found Christian Science January 28, 2019 Issue

The gift of Christian Science

Steve McCrocklin

I am most grateful for Mary Baker Eddy giving the world Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, along with all her other writings. Even though she wrote in the later 19th and early 20th centuries, her works still meet the needs of all people today, and they will for centuries to come.

As a young child, I was brought up in another religion. Each week I sat restless in church as our pastor quoted something from the Bible and then gave the congregation his own inspiration on the subject. In Sunday School, we spent time on activities, but I didn’t feel I learned much about God or the Bible.

Over the next several years, my mom and dad, who have both passed on, fought a lot. Sometimes things got so severe that my mom and I would move to other cities, going to whatever church happened to be the closest to where we were at the time, and then after several months we’d move back home again. We moved back and forth more than five times before I was fifteen.
