When I first read testimonies of healing shared in Christian Science publications like this one, I was deeply impressed to find that there is a spiritual discovery that can be applied to daily life. As I began applying the spiritual truths I was learning to difficulties I was facing, I found that the one all-good, all-powerful God is actually as close to us as our thinking and that God brings healing thoughts to light in our consciousness. This understanding has made all the difference in my life. 

Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of Christian Science, deeply studied the Bible to explore how Jesus healed the sick. She applied what she found to her own life and was healed physically. Then she not only healed others and personally taught hundreds of individuals how to do the same but expanded the healing reach of this Science even further by explaining her discovery in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

This textbook of healing highlights seven Bible-based synonyms for God that illustrate His nature and allness: Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, and Love. Two in particular, Mind and Spirit, reveal the completely mental and spiritual nature of God and His creation. These show that we experience God and existence in consciousness rather than through physicality.
