The demand for the healing message in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures is growing worldwide. People are asking for a more spiritual understanding of health, for a better basis for lasting relationships, and for the confidence that comes from finding a greater purpose to existence. Now, as they have for the past 125 years, listeners are finding that Science and Health enriches their lives. 

Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, wrote this memoir in 1891. The first part of the book outlines her family’s history and her own youth and early adulthood in New England. She then explores her discovery of Christian Science and essential ideas of a scientific Christianity that brings healing. While giving insight into the life of this religious leader, the spiritual counsel in this book nurtures and guides listeners today. 

The Manual of The Mother Church has governed the activities of the First Church of Christ, Scientist for more than a century. Its by-laws address the Christian foundation of individual lives and church activity, as well as church structure and governance. Author Mary Baker Eddy wrote, “...each Rule and By-law in this Manual will increase the spirituality of him who obeys it, invigorate his capacity to heal the sick, to comfort such as mourn, and to awaken the sinner” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany).  

Between 1883-1896, Mary Baker Eddy wrote many articles, letters, and poems to support and encourage the growing membership of the Christian Science church she founded. Many were first published in The Christian Science Journal. Mary Baker Eddy published them as this separate book, Miscellaneous Writings. She suspended all Christian Science teaching for one year, urging the study of this book in its place.  

A collection of 11 of Mary Baker Eddy’s books and sermons, these writings answer questions about Christian Science and explain its teachings. It also includes her memoir, Retrospection and Introspection.

This two-part book was compiled and edited by Mary Baker Eddy, the church’s founder. Part I (“The First Church of Christ, Scientist”) describes the building of The Mother Church Extension in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1906.

Through a question-and-answer format, Mary Baker Eddy explains the basic ideas of Christian Science. The first question is, “How would you define Christian Science?” She answers: “As the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony.” Subsequent questions include “Is man material or spiritual?” and “How should I undertake to demonstrate Christian Science in healing the sick?” 

Compiled by Mary Baker Eddy, this collection chronicles the early days of the First Church of Christ, Scientist. It includes the special sermon Mary Baker Eddy gave when the church opened its doors in early 1895. The book also includes excerpts from newspapers of the day about this new religion, which was attracting international attention for its healing work.  

The author, Mary Baker Eddy, considered this book her second most important work after Science and Health. In it, she addresses basic differences in theology between Christian Science and traditional Christianity. She explains that God, good, is always present and is all-powerful. From this basis, she shows listeners how to address topics such as evil, sin, and materialism.

Originally a sermon Mary Baker Eddy delivered in the late 1800s, this book is based on Paul’s Biblical letter to the Ephesians, “One Lord, one faith, one baptism." It offers her insights on how advancing our view of God brings health and healing.   

In 1898, Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, delivered a sermon on the subject, “Not Pantheism, but Christian Science,” which is now published in this book format. In it, she explains the vast differences between scientific Christianity and pantheism.  

In 1900, Mary Baker Eddy offered this timeless message to members of her growing First Church of Christ, Scientist. In it, she encourages right thinking, right acting, and right working, along with unselfishness, charity, receptivity, and obedience to God.   

This sermon, given by Mary Baker Eddy, is based on Jesus’ statement: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (The Gospel of Mark, chapter 16).
