In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

My introduction to Christian Science Reading Rooms happened when I lived in New York City.

Moved on, not laid off

Have you been laid off, fired on short notice, or are you worried that you may be?
On a crowded train near Tokyo, soon after World War II, I overheard a woman describing how she had fled from her burning home after a midnight air raid.

Praying for the world

I knew that while I might not see immediate evidence of world peace, I could be assured of the healing effect of prayer, on the basis of examples from the Bible.

One feels very meek in the presence of the all-powerful God, protecting and feeding us with loving, pure, holy thoughts that bless and bring healing.

If helping seems a burden

Are you apprehensive about caring for your own or your spouse's parents?

Overcoming the "conspiracy" of age

One of the greatest conspiracies against humanity is the generally accepted belief of growing old.

Individual transformation does not take place in one sudden leap through the experience we call death.

Fed God's love

Going off to college was very difficult.

My job was to express the spiritual individuality bestowed on me by God.

Disease unreal—preposterous?

The assurance that "disease is unreal" might seem preposterous.

Can I count the times that I've been mentally on my knees in prayer? Probably not, but neither can I begin to count all the times that I've seen the hand of God tenderly at work— uniting, reassuring, neutralizing conflict.
