The project to collect and publish letters that John Hargreaves sent to friends and individuals has brought forth tremendous support from around the world.  This collection will be published as a two-volume book set reflecting the ideas and insights he shared during his years of Christian Science practice. 

 

Barbara Hargreaves, John's wife and partner in the practice for many years, conceived this idea based on how well received "Principle and Practice" has been.  You may know that "Principle and Practice" is a wonderful collection of letters sent by Hendrik de Lange to his worldwide practice, now offered by Mulberry Press as a 365-page hardback book.

 

The MP editorial team is now working with the manuscript for the two volumes based on the hundreds letters that were shared by the original recipients.  We have selected those that will be included, deleting personal references, and finalizing the categorization of the letters into topics.  Much progress has been made in organizing the letters, many of which were handwritten. Many others were nearly lost because the early fax copies have faded a great deal.

 

The letters are very substantive and inspiring. John was a deeply thoughtful and excellent writer who took great delight in gathering the facts of being and sharing these through his letters. Today, the rich legacy of these letters continues to bring forth blessings for all who read them. This book-length collection will continue to inspire greater understanding of Christian Science and help readers to find answers to questions that arise.

 

In order to make it easier for readers to take this on travels and to share them with friends and family, this collection will be produced as a two-volume set, with each volume being approximately 150 pages.  We expect the set will go on sale in September after several rounds of proofing and final checking. The price has been set tentatively as $20 per volume and $35 for the set plus shipping from the U.S.
