“The calm, strong forces of true spirituality are manifest as health, purity, and a magnanimous self.”
― Cheryl Petersen, 21st Century Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: A modern version of Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health, sixth edition

“The world may lack spirituality, and people may not be able to keep a promise or make a home happy, but human minds are demanding spiritual understanding and reformed attitudes.
As with any reform, a transition period will be felt. Transition periods are often unsettling and undesirable, however, why buck the trend when the reform compels us to find permanence and peace in a more spiritual devotion?”

“Prayer must be kept modest and open to new ideas. Our understanding of God continues to grow because God is infinite. One shouldn't tell God, and everyone else, how to think and act. Dismiss the holier-than-thou attitudes that often taint prayer.”
― Cheryl Petersen, from science & religion to God

“Sickness is real, is true that is, to the patient’s frightened perception. Disorders and problems are more than imagination, they are solid convictions of fear or ignorance and therefore need to be dealt with through an accurate comprehension of the truth of being. If Soul-healing is abused by those who are wise in their own conceit, treatment becomes an irksome trouble maker. Instead of scientifically affecting a cure, a boaster in Science starts petty crossfires over those who are disabled and sick. Humanity should not be knocked around with superficial and heartless remarks like: It’s all in your head. Matter is not real. Be more spiritual. You really are perfect.”
