5.0 out of 5 stars Well, I love this book, April 5 2004

This review is from: Science and Health: With Key to the Scriptures (Paperback)

The reviews here are all pretty much one way or another. Most readers seem to like Science and Health, while many others have some strong negative comments/reviews. It should be addressed here, however, that many reviews are about the Christian Science Church rather than the book itself.

Some individuals have had negative experiences with the Church/religion, and their experiences are completely valid. I am not about to defend the shortcomings of a human institution in this space. I do feel the need, however, to distinguish between a religion and its book. People, for example, may have had problems with the Catholic faith in their life, but that's no reason to start bashing the Bible or giving it a one star rating.

What few seem to discuss here is the book's central thesis, that God exists and that His divine laws should be directly applicable to us in our daily lives. I personally happen to agree with this statement, but I can also understand why some out there would disagree. Maybe they don't believe in God, or don't believe in Jesus' teachings. Maybe they don't think that God can affect their daily lives.

There are 100 pages of testimonials of people who were healed of various ailments from reading this book. Will your life be permanently changed by reading this book? It could. At the very least, you will read a book that makes you think about your personal relationship with God. For me, that's something that is without price.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Guide!!!!!, Feb 5 2004

By

Mike Sivilli (Bayonne, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Science and Health: With Key to the Scriptures (Paperback)

I found this book to be a great compliment to my own Faith as a Roman Catholic. I was skeptical at first, but soon realized that what Mrs. Eddy was teaching was already latent in me. As many of the testimonials attributed, it was a particular incident in my life, which led a friend to recommend the book. Amazingly, I found answers to my problem very early on in my reading, and continued for the sake of learning more. I now understand fully the concept of Christian Science, and continue to practice it with the hope of helping others.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for Life!, Jan 19 2004

By

"kisjelisje" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Science and Health: With Key to the Scriptures (Paperback)

What a wonderful resource for living this is. I have studied CS all my life, more recently than previously, and have benefited more than words can say. I love CS with my whole heart, try to live it to my best ability and love learning more about Life, Love and how God controls and holds his children in his heart. As sunbeams radiate out from the sun, we cannot ever be seperated from God and Love and what a wonderful knowing this is! I have been healed of flu, effects of a car accident, grief, burns, misunderstood relationships, female problems, eye problems and morality issues. I am so grateful for this book and share it whenever possible :-)

What's Christian about it???? Read your bible. Try "Christ the Healer" by Bosworth, "A More Excellent Way" by Henry Wright.
