Christian Science Reading Room, Poole "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." - Mary Baker Eddy

In Christian Science, we study to gain an understanding of God as the essence of our being. There is a wealth of resources in the Reading Room - Bibles, study aids, magazines, and also the book by Mary Baker Eddy, called "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" which has given to many people a sense of well-being, completeness and happiness unlike anything they ever expected. There are on-l

ine and digital audio products as well, and Christian gift ideas for children. Plus collections of poems to help uplift the thought of a friend or neighbour.

Here's a poem a friend shared

Dear God,
So far today I've done alright.
I haven't gossiped.
I haven't lost my temper.
I haven't lied or cheated.
I haven't been greedy, grumpy,
Nasty, selfish or overindulgent.
I'm thankful for that.

But in a few minutes, Lord,
I'm going to get out of bed;
And from then on, I'm probably
Going to need a lot more help.
Amen

It's not very profound, but it gives a glimpse of an enlightened communication with God.
We recognise our duty to reflect God's qualities - patience, meekness, charity, hopefulness.
We recognise that He can, genuinely, help us to do this.
So we get out of bed and play our small part in the mission of Christ to take away the sins of the world.

To learn how we pray, and understand God visit our
