MIRACLES REDEFINED: Experience the Divine in Everyday Life
Free one-hour talk with Heike Arneth, CSB of Munich, Germany
May 29, 11:00am MDT
I love God, people, and all of creation, and I love Christian Science. I want to share this love, and my enthusiasm and joy, with others.
I see the many tough situations that people and nations are faced with. Christian Science can help with all of these; and yet it is not just a system of healing and problem-solving. It is much more than this. Among other things, it explains the spiritual principles that are the basis of all being. Through her discovery, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, not only explained these fundamental principles to us, but also showed us how we can put them into practice. These principles, and the healing and liberating results of applying them, are what I would like to speak to people about. That is why I am a Christian Science lecturer.

How did this come about? The work of Jesus and the stories of healing in the Bible have been an inspiration to me for as long as I can remember. I was first introduced to Christian Science as a teenager, and got to know people who had made it their life's purpose to heal in the same way that Jesus did. I witnessed wonderful healings through Christian Science. This kindled a desire in me to become a Christian Science practitioner myself some day. I first had to complete my schooling and professional training though, and I worked very happily for many years as a bank clerk. Alongside my career, I tried my hand at a number of other things: I founded a modeling agency, organized fashion shows and worked as a beauty therapist. For a while, I counselled prison inmates as part of a project to help them to reintegrate into society.
In my free time, I looked into numerous religions, spiritual perspectives and trends in psychology. But my inner longing for spirituality was never satisfied for long through these things. And so, after much searching, I came back to what had so inspired me as a teenager: Christian Science. I looked more intensively into the principles of Christian Science, continually applying what I had understood. In doing so, I experienced all kinds of healings — for myself, my family and my friends, who were asking for my help more and more frequently. Since 2005, I have been working full-time as a Christian Science Practitioner.
"MIRACLE. That which is divinely natural, but must be learned humanly."
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 591
The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God, — a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures 1: 1
Foundation for Spiritual Healing
The Bible
The Bible is the basis of Christian Science and the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy. Christian Scientists study the Bible and work to apply the lessons learned from Scripture in their daily lives. The King James Version is the most widely used translation and is quoted more than 800 times in Science and Health.
Science and Health
In the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy explains the scientific laws behind the teachings and healings of Christ Jesus. From the first chapter, "Prayer," to her exegesis of Genesis and Revelation, to a Glossary of terms, the author invites readers to deeply consider the allness of God, the perfection of man as God's spiritual creation, and how an understanding of these facts brings healing — just as they did in biblical times. As explained in her book Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, (p. 259) "Truth is the power of God which heals the sick and the sinner, and is applicable to all the needs of man."
The Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy comprise the pastor of this global denomination.
Testimonials of Healing
Why should anyone be interested in reading about metaphysical healing?
By Roger Gordon
From the July 2, 2018 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel
As a staff editor for The Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel, I regularly have the privilege of reading submissions to these magazines from authors all over the world who have experienced healing through prayer, including the healing of conditions deemed incurable or hopeless by medical physicians. Nothing has been more inspiring to me than to read about how people have felt the presence of God, divine Love, through their prayers, and have been spiritually uplifted, transformed, and restored to wholeness.
The healing effect of true self-knowledge
By John Biggs
But prayer isn’t something you do to someone; it’s an attitude of thought that signals our own willingness to hear what God alone is saying! To pray with someone isn’t to make something happen to them or to make them do something; it’s to stand in humble awareness of the transforming power and presence of God and the light of His Christ.
