A Better Life!

Ten former followers of Christian Science tell their stories of leaving—why they left, and what their lives have been like since.  Many of these people were from families that had been multi-generational followers of Christian Science.  Their journey out held many challenges, but without exception, all of these individuals found a happier life, with a personal relationship with Jesus.

 “Just when you thought you were raised to know “the Truth,” you realized it wasn’t the truth at all.”—Lauren Hunter

A red flag of caution should be raised whenever a group claims to believe the Bible, but also claims to have a new revelation and/or person to interpret it.  Because of this, they declare they are “more informed” or “higher up” in the spiritual food chain because of this enlightenment. In this case, that person was Mary Baker Eddy founder of Christian Science.

If someone offers you an updated or “additional” way to believe, do as scripture recommends, and test the spirits:

“Dearly loved friends, don’t always believe everything you hear just because someone says it is a message from God:  test it first to see if it really is. For there are many false teachers around.” 1 John 4:1

Make sure you understand an organization’s meaning of Jesus.  Their definition may be far different than yours.

“God cannot tell lies! And so his promises and vows are two things that can never be changed.”  Hebrew 6:18 

Reading these stories will open your eyes to the beliefs held by other groups who claim to be Christians.  These brave people have gone through a lot to claim Christ as theirs.  I recommend this 5-star, easy to read book, to everyone.

Veritable Books, through NetGalley, has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, Leaving Christian Science, for the purpose of review.  I have not been compensated in any other manner.  All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required, or influenced, to give anything but an honest appraisal.
