Cheryl Petersen grew up on a farm in the Pacific Northwest. Since childhood, she studied Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Cheryl experienced a dramatic healing in 1998 after she jumped from an exploding tractor. She had second-degree burns on half of her face, and a bleeding liver. By the time a surgeon was located, her hospital records show that she had stabilized and began healing. Cheryl and her family continued praying, applying principles from Science and Health.  She felt God's love stop her from being angry or fearful and this accelerated her healing. In two weeks her face was completely healed without any scarring. In three weeks she was snowmobiling.

Cheryl was a Christian Science practitioner, offering healing prayers for others. This near death experience changed her direction. She realized that the book that had helped her so much, Science and Health, needed revising. Science and Health was written in the 19th century, lacking 21st century terminology and language. Cheryl worked for 8 years to bring you an updated version, 21st Century Science and Health. In this book you will learn the use of prayer and spirituality for health. You will also gain new observations and thoughts of the relationship between spiritual and health for the soul and Body.

Cheryl Petersen has a B.S. degree from Colorado State University. She is the author of many published articles on spirituality, and a children's book. Cheryl and her family have fostered children for 15 years. She is dedicated to helping people claim their spiritual power and health.

                                                                         Dr. Holly Shulman is a research scientist and the founder of Ceralink Inc., a material science and engineering company based in Troy, N.Y. Holly is a strong supporter of Cheryl Petersen, and an editor for her revision work, 21st Century Science and Health.

In 1996, while Holly was living in New Zealand, a renowned artist and teacher gave her the book Science and Health. Holly wanted to understand how this artistic woman, at 85 years old, could be so vigorous, loving, and beautiful. The ideas in the book were supposed to explain her friend's philosophy, but it was very difficult to read and understand. Holly persisted and gained great insights and healing of many emotional and relaitonship problems. When Holly met Cheryl, she knew that Cheryl was a healer and her healing method was also explained in the antiquated book Science and Health.  Holly could see that Cheryl had the depth of understanding and experience to update this useful book. Holly offered her skills as an editor to bring Science and Health  up to date.

Although Holly didn't fully believe in physical healing through prayer, she didn't rule it out. Holly went through a debilitating back problem and called on Cheryl for help. Cheryl gently and calmly worked with Holly and acknowledged her underlying wellness. With Cheryl's healing presence, Holly went from flat on her back in pain, to exercising, to fixing up her house and hauling garbage to the dump. Holly learned that the physical body is dramatically influenced by the mind. Body and mind are governed by God and are healed through love. Sometimes people help us to know this, but this knowledge is also shared in books, and 21st Century Science and Health gives these healing insights.
