Nonsense, and badly written nonsense at that, but the book is influential. It's more readable in little bits, and some quotes are sensible, though some of the anecdotes are laughably dubious, such as the supposedly true story of the father who held his baby underwater until it grew comfortable

enough to play there. Mothers should remember this story, Eddy admonishes her readers, so that they can prepare their babies properly. Yikes!

This is a great book to study if you are interested in becoming enlightened in a way that will enable you to achieve harmony and health in your life. This book is the cornerstone of Christian Science. It speaks of a God that is love only. Most "Christian" Gods are concepts built on the duality of

fear and love. With Christian Science, God is only Love. I have been studying this book for 20 odd years and I have noticed in my own life that my circumstances are more and more harmonious and loving. Rarely do I get sick and at 60 years old, I do not take any medicines, which is exactly what Christian Science is all about, health, happiness, and holiness.

I grew up as a Christian Scientist and know this book fairly well. It has parts that are very dated and some that are outright strange, but the messages are right on and comforting.

The truths in this book and the insight it gives to Christ Jesus' teachings are practical and provable. My family and I have found physical healing and comfort by relying on these principles. It has deepened our understanding of God and Christianity. Science and Health is an excellent tool for

delving deeper into some of the difficult concepts in the Bible, too.
