A book that keeps changing lives
With Jennifer McLaughlin and Ethel Baker
This week, we’re celebrating 150 years of the publication of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Our guests—Jennifer McLaughlin, a member of the Christian Science Board of Trustees and Manager of The Christian Science Publishing Society, and Ethel Baker, Editor of the Christian Science periodicals—share their thoughts on this book’s impact a century and a half later. You’ll also hear inspiring testimonies from a few who’ve been healed by reading Science and Health.
