Studying the Christian Science Bible Lesson saved my life
It was my first time away from home on my own. I was almost sixteen and studying violin at a summer orchestra camp. It was on a small college campus a few hours from where I lived, and I was staying in one of the dormitories.
I had my Christian Science Sunday School textbooks with me—the Bible as well as Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy—and I felt very grown-up reading the weekly Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly by myself.
In the Lesson one week, I kept noticing references to God as Life. Growing up attending Christian Science Sunday School, I’d learned that Life was one of the synonyms for God taught in Christian Science, but now that idea was coming alive for me. So the words “God is my life” were at the forefront of my thoughts.
