God and Health

Christian Science Lecture:  Is prayer really a reliable form of health care?  Can God be relied on for health and healing?  International speaker Rob Gilbert says, “In my own experience I’ve found that prayer and a deep understanding of God is a reliable way to maintain health and experience healing.”

 “This lecture corrects misconceptions often held about God and shows the nature of God, divine Love, to be a consistent healing Principle,” says Gilbert.  “The ideas shared in this lecture will break down the long held beliefs that assign the body to material theories of medicine and the mind to religion, thus hiding the power of spiritual understanding to heal.  Exploring the early investigations of Mary Baker Eddy in the mind/body relationship, not unlike investigations going on today, reveals the path that eventually led her to the discovery of Christian Science and the practice of spiritual healing that corrects misconceptions about God, secures health, and restores the body.”

 Gilbert’s ideas are based on the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible, and as discussed in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. 

Practitioner and teacher of Christian Science healing, Rob Gilbert, has a Master of Theology degree from Boston University School of Theology, where he majored in Biblical Studies. While serving as a chaplain in the United States Army, he had a variety of assignments including military prisons, hospitals, and a tour of duty in Viet Nam.  Rob retired from the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel.

 More recently he co-produced two educational videos for medical nursing schools and hospitals, answering commonly asked questions about the practice of spiritual healing, how it informs healthcare decisions, and spirituality in nursing care. Rob has spoken to a variety of medical audiences on the practice of spiritual healing, to college classes in women’s studies and alternative healing, high school classes on the subject of comparative religions, and in jails and prisons.
