This
book provides wonderful metaphysical insight into the Bible’s
story of Job. The
little book, Job His Spiritual Value, provides the
student of Christian Science with greatly more than ‘just one
more commentary’ about the Job story with its classic and
beautiful lines.
Within the book’s title we find announced the wholly spiritual viewpoint
from which the account and all its dialogue is approached and
shared. In tracing what is revealed as Job’s own spiritual
integrity the reader's own view is deepened with light. The
higher and true viewpoint, expressed by Job in his words “I have
heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth
Thee”, is thus seen to be the only valid view.
There is much rich insight for the reader in this book, Job His
Spiritual Value. Mulberry Press is very happy to add it to
our catalogue of writings on pure Christian Science. There is
also an Introduction by Hendrik J. de Lange, excerpted below,
that reflects his endorsement of the book. The author, Irma
Stewart, and Dr. de Lange knew each other well and had extensive
communication through the years.

From Hendrik de
Lange's Introduction to This Book
 "The
author acknowledges her indebtedness to the teachings of both
Christ Jesus, the founder of Christianity, and Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, for the
inspiration of this book's message.
"Without the spiritual
understanding received from studying the Bible in light of
Christian Science, she could not have arrived at a clarifying
analysis of Job's mental peregrinations, leading him out of the
perplexity and obscurity of mortal sense into the simplicity and
lucidity of divine reality.
"The reader should always keep in
thought that the standpoint from which the author approaches her
subject is scientific in the highest sense of the word. It
is the standpoint of Christian Science." |
