Stories of Healing: Jesus and his Followers

This book retells each of Jesus’ and his followers’ healings from the Bible. It also contains historical information, definitions, and insights into Jesus’ ministry. A special section of recent healings attests to the vitality and relevance of Christ-healing today.

An extensively revised and expanded edition of four previously published books: (Jesus’ Healings, parts 1–3, and New Testament Healings), it has been fully redesigned to be more engaging and interactive. It reflects the most recent Bible scholarship, and for the first time is available in a single volume.

Written in clear, direct, accessible language—and filled with beautiful, historically informed, full-color illustrations, maps, glossaries, a bibliography, and an index—Stories of Healing is an engaging and inspiring tribute to Jesus’ healing legacy. Written to be accessible for 8 to 12-year-olds, the book appeals to readers of all ages.

The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments, given by God to Moses, are among the fundamental lessons for children and adults alike. These laws address how to love God and live in harmony, and they give authority to those who are obedient to them.

The Ten Commandments are the foundation of spiritual education. In Deuteronomy, we read, "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children..." (Deut. 6:6, 7). Mary Baker Eddy says in her book Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896, "Obedience to these commandments is indispensable to health, happiness, and length of days" (p.67).

Children have always loved the story of Noah and the ark that God told him to build. It is a valuable lesson in humble obedience and God's loving care, faithfully retold from the Bible.

Joseph and His Brothers

The story of Joseph is one of the greatest life stories ever told. Children love to see the amazing ways that God took care of Joseph and promoted him from being in a hopeless pit to saving Egypt—and his mean brothers—from starvation!

Jean Horton Berg's faithful retelling, from Genesis in the Bible, includes all the parts of Joseph's life—his colorful coat, his brothers’ jealousy, how he conducted himself as a slave and in prison, his trust in God and his consequent wisdom, and how God positioned him to save the people in a famine.

The Story of Ruth

Ruth, a Moabitess, accepts the one God and joins her mother-in-law, Naomi, when she returns to Judah. Both women are widows with no visible means of support, but through trusting God, Ruth finds food for them in the fields of Boaz, a relative of Naomi's husband.

Boaz praises Ruth for her rare devotion to her mother-in-law and to God, which was known among the people of Bethlehem. He later marries Ruth and provides a home for her and Naomi. His words to Ruth are true for everyone who loves God, "The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust." (Ruth 2:12).

The account shows God's direction and protection, as well as Ruth's, Naomi's, and Boaz's, genuine care for one another's welfare. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes: "Happiness is spiritual, born of Truth and Love. It is unselfish; therefore, it cannot exist alone but requires all mankind to share it." (Science and health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 57.

Nehemiah Builds the Wall

The Biblical story of Nehemiah has all the elements of an adventure&mdashstrong character, suspense, action, conflict. But even more important, it tells of a great leader who loved God and cared about his people.

Tempted and taunted in all sorts of ways, Nehemiah remained confident that God was guiding him: "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease . . .?" (Neh. 6:3). Children will identify with the drama of Nehemiah's perseverance and loyalty to his people. They can easily draw their own conclusions as to the value of trusting God and see how God cares for those who trust Him.
