"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings."
This message of hope and healing is Mary Baker Eddy's opening sentence from her seminal work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and serves as the inspiration for this children's book -- Big with Blessings. As Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy devoted her life to writing about and sharing her growing spiritual understanding of the blessings and abundance which come from God. Mrs. Eddy especially loved children and she wrote poems and prayers specifically for them, many of which are collected in this book.
Mary Baker Eddy recognized that children have the innate potential to be great healers because of their loving desire to learn and help others and their honest reliance on the power of God. She healed them and taught them how to heal themselves and others. She also included children's healings in Science and Health and in her other writings. Mrs. Eddy founded the Christian Science Sunday School where young people from around the world study the Bible and Science and Health, and explore the spiritual sense of the Scriptures that brings the sweet recognition that each and every day, each and every moment, the grace and goodness of God are ever-present.
Big with Blessings depicts the lives of children around the world throughout the course of a day. With illustrations to inspire the child in each of us, this book gathers many of Mrs. Eddy's beloved passages, quotations, and poetry that share the omnipresence and the universal love of God that give ideas that support and sustain each of us, as the beloved child of God.
