What is a Christian Science Reading Room?
For anyone who wants to understand more about Christian Science, a Reading Room is a great place to start. Here you can borrow, buy, or study the Holy Bible and the Christian Science textbook, (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures written by Mary Baker Eddy), the two books we study in our weekly Bible Lesson. There are also Christian Science magazines that include testimonies of healing, and books on Christian Science and its Discoverer, Mary Baker Eddy. Think of the Reading Room as a library and bookstore for spiritual thinkers. You can investigate its resources yourself, or the attendant will be happy to answer any questions. Feel free to call us if you are looking for something specific. New products can also be ordered by the staff. The Reading Room is not just a place for church members, but for anyone to explore what we have to offer.
What will you find in our
Reading Room?
Here can be found the Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and other writings of Mary Baker Eddy in English, Spanish and other languages, print and online editions of The Christian Science Journal, and Christian Science Sentinel. Study reference tools include:

Spiritual Explorers Welcome
Almost everyone – at some time in their life – has felt that there is something more to life, a world of spirit waiting to be discovered. Many have found that world through Christian Science, which teaches that Spirit is a synonym for God and that God’s spiritual creation is right at hand.
Out of our love for all in our community who feel that pull to Spirit, our church has provided a Christian Science Reading Room in Roseville for almost a century. Think of the Reading Room as a love-embraced destination to take you further on your spiritual journey.
Occasionally, we have special events such as viewing The Mother Church’s Annual Meeting on our Reading Room’s computer. Such events are announced in our church. All are welcome to attend.
LOVE TO SEE YOU!
