5.0 out of 5 stars Author Way Ahead of Her Time - Fortunately for Us, March 23, 2000

By A Customer

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

The author, Mary Baker Eddy, was far ahead of her time in what she not only understood about God and mankind, but what she accomplished as a woman over 100 years ago. Other authors have attempted to discuss such ideas as what is real, what is illusion, what is God, Life, Truth, evil, good, etc. but have fallen short in the consistancy of their reasoning and conclusions. I find no contradictions here, only inspired thinking. I have actually had healings as a result of reading this book, and I recommend it to others regardless of religious affiliation.

I am not your typical respondent on this book. Most likely, a person of the Christian Science Religion would write about this amazing book. The book IS AMAZING. It was written by a woman in the l800's. In my opinion, she was absolutely brilliant, but also a "channel" of higher spirituality. This is where the C.S. would differ with me. The language is so advanced/awkward at times, and yet it has a breathtaking aliveness and beauty , poetic and profound that it cannot be overlooked as one of the most majestic and powerful books on healing in this century. I feel a kind of "electrical buzz" in my mind as the truth scintilates through my being, head to toe in certain passages. I encourage any one to attend a Testimony meeting on Wednesday nights ...even a non C.S. It is a wonderful testimony to healing that is lacking in most Christian denominations. My greatest argument with the author of this book is the amount of control she left over the followers...too much rigidity of application, in my opinion. I truly believe that God can heal us with prayer. Unfortunately, I do feel that many people are lacking the spiritual understanding as yet, to fully manifest such a healing. In certain cases, I feel this can be tragic, when doctors, who God ALSO Created, could possibly have helped. So, although I love the book and its principles, I hold a bit of reservation in how it is most commonly applied within the strictures of its church. Read the book in spite of what I have said, and be blessed! Linda Schiller-Hanna

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Unlocks The Bible, Destroys Sin, December 1, 1999

By A Customer

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

This 700-page book opened up my understanding of God and the Bible light-years beyond what many traditional theological views ever did. It also helped me give up and destroy appetites for alcohol, tobacco, foul language, pornography, gambling and other forms of laciviousness. It eliminated my dependence on matter for healing and allowed me to trust all my cares to God. This is a book you won't read once. Re-reading it unlocks the Bible's healing message and strengthens your trust in the efficacy of prayer and in the power of the Almighty.
