Each year at my Christian Science students’ association meeting, our teacher asks attendees to give away or place at least two copies of Mary Baker Eddy’s Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures during the coming year. Sharing the Christian Science textbook is something I’ve always embraced, with the thought, “I can do that.” Sometimes I would even share a few more than two. 

But last year, as I was considering this assignment, the number fifty jumped into my thinking. I laughed and thought, “That’s not possible!” But right after that, I had a warm, wonderful feeling that this message was from God rather than just me coming up with a wacky number. I felt sure that God would support this goal—that, in fact, it was a duty. 

So I began to consider more seriously how I could share Science and Health. We all encounter people in our daily lives whom we can bless with this book, which Mrs. Eddy wrote for everyone. We talk to friends, workers at drive-through windows, clerks at hotels and stores, wait staff at restaurants, and more. And we pass by places where it makes sense to place Science and Health. Of course, we need to obtain copies of the book to do this. They’re available at Christian Science Reading Rooms or can be ordered online (go to shop.christianscience.com).
