I love our new book Stories of Healing: Jesus and his followers, revised and expanded edition published in 2020 by the Christian Science Publishing Society. I purchased it some time ago, but have now been more disciplined in taking a couple of pages each day and investigating all that those pages have to offer, including the colour coded pages at the back. That orderly approach is very rewarding!
It is an extraordinary resource for anyone interested in the Bible, and of course, in the healings of Jesus. The writing is very direct and simple; the ideas profound (thank you Mary Jo Beebe, Olene E. Carroll and Nancy H. Fischer). The illustrations are excellent (thank you Genevieve Meek): they give a perfect feeling of what life may have looked like for Jesus and his followers. And the very simple map on the inside front cover is wonderful to refer to as one journeys along with Jesus during his astonishing three year ministry.
What's more, the book FEELS good in one's hand. I love the raised print on the cover for instance.
Jesus told us that he is "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). That sounds like a pretty good reason for reading this book.
Happy reading everyone. I'm sure your local Christian Science Reading Room has copies for sale or borrowing.
