The Christian Science Church documents “the tide of spiritual healing” over 100 years after the discovery of Christian Science (1866-1966). The healings range from those closer to common experience to those considered miraculous. Other healings are sorted topically–such as Healing and Salvation, Healing in the Churches, Healing of the Nations, Practical Aspects, Christianity and Science, etc. There is a sequel: Healing Spiritually: Renewing your life through the power of God’s law (1996).

The War Relief Committee was established by The Mother Church in Boston in 1914 after the outbreak of WWI to relieve families and individuals who were adversely affected by the war. This book is a report of those activities by individuals and groups (Camp Welfare Committees) in the various states and in the countries of France, Great Britain, Holland, and Switzerland from 1914 to 1918. 

This sourcebook was compiled by the Christian Science Publishing Society as a response to many unanswered questions in public thought regarding Christian Science beliefs and practices in the late 1980s. It includes primary and secondary sources, as well as scholarly analytical work and personal statements of faith.

This 1996 collection of testimonies of healing produced by the Christian Science Publishing Society is a sequel to the 1966 A Century of Christian Science Healing. The objective was to provide evidence of healing that would confirm the Church’s claim that anyone who believes in and trusts God completely, can rely on God’s law alone for health, happiness—and healing.

As the title of this 70-minute bibliographic video implies, its main message highlights Mary Baker Eddy’s lifelong struggles, determination, and persistence. This video precedes the opening of the Mary Baker Eddy Library by 14 years, and its excellent cast of characters make it a valuable resource especially for those unfamiliar with Eddy’s life and work.

This book is primarily a collection of Gilman’s reminiscences as he illustrated Mary Baker Eddy’s poem, Christ and Christmas. Gilman’s detailed letters and reminiscences of their work reveal Gilman’s profound struggle to obey and please his teacher through his art. Eddy ultimately considered the book one of her most important, as the time, prayer, and thought committed to it testifies.

​​This historically important book, available through the Mary Baker Eddy Library, records the court transcripts in their entirety of what later came to be known as the ‘Great Litigation.’ The case was argued between the Trustees of the 1898 Deed of Trust of the Christian Science Publishing Society and the Christian Science Board of Directors.

This collection of brief articles about 14 people who served the Cause of Christian Science during Mary Baker Eddy’s last decades first appeared in a series from The Christian Science Journal between 1987 and 1991. More than imparting interesting historical information, the articles express these individuals’ vital spirit and conviction that moved them to give their all for a Cause.

​​This first volume (of two), of the expanded version of a series of reminiscences from those who knew Eddy personally and worked closely with her, represents a segment of the Christian Science community that was profoundly committed to ‘the Cause.’  They wanted to serve Eddy, their Leader (whom they called ‘Mother’) unselfishly and faithfully, and they clearly revered her.

Unlike the first volume in this Expanded Version of the We Knew Mary Baker Eddy series, this second volume includes all new material unavailable in the original series of four volumes by the same title. These self-selected writers were workers who held great admiration for Eddy, but several also acknowledged Eddy’s severe expectations for those who served her.
