The Lesson-Sermons were solidified in 1910 with the death of Mary Baker Eddy. There is no evidence that at her death she considered all her work finalized. Over a century later the Lessons-Sermons require change more than ever. The Lesson-Sermons are for many visitors their introduction to Christian Science theology, but they are more likely to deter visitors than show a vibrant religion. This book introduces a new set of Lesson-Sermons groups are welcomed to adopt.. They do not change the theology, but instead how the Church presents itself on a grassroots level. This book is about rediscovering the timelessness and spiritual beauty of Christian Science, giving visitors a more familiar and less alienating view of the religion, making the religion more relevant to modern Christian living, strengthening the connection with the Bible, and renewing the emphasis on personal development. Further, these Lesson-Sermons tell of a journey of discovery to conversion to revelation to daily Christian living.

These four fictional monologues look at different approaches to defining what makes a Mason. ""Brother Harry Truman"", the only potential dual character piece, looks at the timelessness of Masonry from the point of view of the former U.S. President. ""White Gloves"" compares the meaning of Lodge gloves to the gloves of the speaker's alcoholic fisherman father. ""Outside The Door"" is about how Masonry motivates one to step out of themselves to do difficult things. ""Inside The Heart"" looks at how a group of soldiers kept Masonry alive while stationed abroad. They can be performed for the public, but are also a perfect length for lodge meetings. Playwright Aaron Joy is a music writer who has been involved in Masonry in his home of Portland, Maine. His theater work spans on and off stage in the U.S. and Japan, including directing Off-Broadway and tech at San Francisco's Jon Sims Center. While his music work includes owning his own label, Roman Midnight Music, and extensive blogging and podcasting and playing.

In this book, my [Twain's] purpose has been to present a character portrait of Mrs. Eddy [founder of Christian Science Society], drawn from her own acts and words solely, not from hearsay and rumor; and to explain the nature an scope of her Monarchy, as revealed in the laws by which she governs it, and which she wrote herself. The controversial text was originally rejected by Twain's publisher.
