Fuel up for your spiritual journey with premium fuel!

On a spiritual journey,fueling up with spiritual fuel every day ensures that the voyage progresses harmoniously. On the path of Christian Science, this fuel is found in individual daily study of passages from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. In this course of spiritual study, everyone progresses individually; the only tests are in how practically the lessons are applied along the road of everyday life.

The spiritual teachings of the Bible and Christian Science are inextricably woven together. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes, "The Bible contains the recipe for all healing." And she states as the first tenet of Christian Science: "As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life."

The great Biblical characters—Jesus, the apostles, the prophets, plus strong and courageous Biblical women such as Esther, Ruth, and Abigail—obviously knew how to travel life's turbulent voyages with great spiritual strength. What was it that they knew that was so powerful in smoothing life's path?

What the great Biblical characters knew constituted the essence of Mary Baker Eddy's discovery of Christian Science.

After Mary Baker Eddy discovered the Science of the Christ—how God's laws harmonize every detail of human experience—she wrote Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures to share her discovery with others.

Science and Health does not replace the Bible; it is a key that opens up the Bible's rich and living practical meaning. The Bible and Science and Health work together as one indispensable compass with which to navigate a voyage of spiritual discovery and healing.

Every science has one or more textbooks and Christian Science is no exception.Mary Baker Eddy designated her book as the textook of the Science of the Christ.

Since its first edition in 1875, Science and Health has sold over ten million copies. It is currently published in several languages and is available in audio cassette, compact disk and computerized formats.

To map out Bible study in a systematic way, The Christian Science Publishing Society publishes weekly Bible lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly four times a year.

Presented in a convenient, easy-to-follow format, the weekly Bible lessons consist of study references from Genesis to Revelation in the Bible (King James Version) and explanatory and corroborative texts from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

The comfort, healing and inspiration that come from studying the Bible lessons can be applied at work, at home, at school—wherever your daily path leads you.

In the Church Manual of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts Mary Baker Eddy ordained the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures as the Pastor of her church.

Students of the Christian Science Quarterly's Weekly Bible Lessons find this dual and impersonal Pastor quietly ministers to their daily, individual spiritual needs. Great spiritual strength is derived from studying the Pastor's weekly "Lesson-Sermon".

Every Sunday, this Lesson-Sermon is publically "preached"—read aloud—in all Christian Science churches and societies worldwide.

Listen to last Sunday's Lesson-Sermon read from The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.
The online audio is available from 1 pm Sunday to noon Monday EST.

Many students of the Weekly Bible Lessons like to dig quite deeply into their study of the Bible. To do so, they use a number of reference books in common circulation—several translations of the Bible, Biblical concordances, commentaries, atlases, and dictionaries that give insights into the Bible's history, culture, language, and symbolism.These reference works can be freely accessed at most Christian Science Reading Rooms, either in book form, or on the computer.
