In 1946, a correspondent wrote this to The London Times

It is rather like reading a guidebook describing a country which the reader has never seen. Once the country has been visited, the book comes alive. The purpose of the Bible is … [Read more...]
‘The hour is come’
I felt beaten. Two years of preparing to make Christian Science healing my full-time profession, and it looked as though everything was falling apart.
