    A Test of Faith Job was the perfect man; a model of integrity and piety‚ ambition and honor. He probably even flossed every day.

Christian Science was discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy. “The

    Stereotypes Exist Because They Are Grounded In Truth Has anyone ever said that ‘unicorns exist in real life and that they have seen them’? Or that they ‘felt hot while it was snowing’?
