Search: science and health with key to the scriptures

Creative order is the thread that weaves through my life. It's in music, which I taught and performed for about 10 years, and it was crucial in the tearoom my husband and I ran for five years.

Growing up going to the Christian Science Sunday School, surrounded by a family actively living the teachings of Christian Science, Alison and her siblings had quick healings of the usual childhood scrapes and illnesses. Her grandmother was a Christian Science practitioner for many years and so from a young age she felt that studying the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, brought practical transformative results.She found getting to know God better and her relationship with the Divine naturally resulted in praying for and with others. She started receiving requests to pray for others while she was still leading her professional career, first in property (real estate) and then university-based adult education.

Alternate title to How we can follow Christ Christianity is about connecting with God and finding freedom from human suffering. It includes both a desire to follow Christ Jesus, and the efforts one makes to do so faithfully.

Christian Science and community service were strong influences in my home growing up.  I found fulfilling ways to help disadvantaged people over the years, but in college I became convinced that the best way to accomplish lasting justice and peace was Jesus’ path of breaking through the illusion of evil and many minds to the perfection of God’s spiritual universe.  I wanted to devote myself to Christian Science healing, but wasn’t sure how to launch. My next step was to become a Christian Science nurse.

I grew up in Malaga, Spain. My desire to serve others led me to join the Society of Jesus where I was an ordained priest.

Most people want the same things today they’ve always wanted—health, stability, and to have a good life. Throughout his lifetime, Christ Jesus responded to those desires by preaching the gospel of God's kingdom and by healing the sick and those who had lost their way. He taught his followers how to be Christian healers, too.

I may not be an architect, but I know the value of a strong foundation. My life improved when I began building on new views of myself and my identity, which sprang from a better concept of God than I’d had before.

“Say the truth and the devil will be ashamed.” This saying from James’s native Cameroon, when seen through the life of Jesus, can be interpreted to mean that your true identity is sinless and pure. You have nothing in common with the liar, with anything unlike your true God-given nature.

I grew up in Spain. My youth was very normal, with a focus on music.
