Independent Christian Science Lesson-Sermons And Bible Lessons For A New Generation

Book excerpt: The Lesson-Sermons were solidified in 1910 with the death of Mary Baker Eddy. There is no evidence that at her death she considered all her work finalized. Over a century later the Lessons-Sermons require change more than ever. The Lesson-Sermons are for many visitors their introduction to Christian Science theology, but they are more likely to deter visitors than show a vibrant religion. This book introduces a new set of Lesson-Sermons groups are welcomed to adopt.. They do not change the theology, but instead how the Church presents itself on a grassroots level. This book is about rediscovering the timelessness and spiritual beauty of Christian Science, giving visitors a more familiar and less alienating view of the religion, making the religion more relevant to modern Christian living, strengthening the connection with the Bible, and renewing the emphasis on personal development. Further, these Lesson-Sermons tell of a journey of discovery to conversion to revelation to daily Christian living.
