SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

“When I read Science and Health for the first time”

Read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy from cover to cover?
Our guest was a teenager when his mom encouraged him to read the book in its entirety.
But as he tells us, 700 pages seemed less daunting after he began reading and his life started to change for the better.

Join us via Zoom to hear this week’s Sentinel Watch podcast

(NOTE: The current and past Sentinel Watch programs are always available online.)
