Its readership mapped out the quintessential graph of birth, growth, maturity, and decline during the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n<p>For the enterprise to achieve rebirth, the vision of reinvention needs to take hold. The reinvention however must stay in line with the initial intent. Before the turn of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, and for my own advancement in divine Science, I began revising Eddy\u2019s book, <em>Science and Health<\/em> and found a rebirth. I eventually published <em>21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Science and Health, <\/em>not as a replacement but as the seed within itself. Its readership is growing.<\/p>\n<p>To my pleasant and happy surprise, readers of <em>21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Science and Health<\/em> carry a 21<sup>st<\/sup> century attitude of inclusiveness or universality. Religious, human, and civil rights fought for so bravely during the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century and with tremendous loss of life, are in the reader\u2019s forethought.
