Mary Baker Eddy: Christian Healer is the first book-length biography of Mary Baker Eddy that specifically focuses on all of Eddy’s more than 300 known healings. The book details Eddy’s Puritan upbringing, discovery of Christian Science, healing and teaching, founding of a global religious movement, and more. Ideal for both the casual listener and scholar, this amplified edition includes all of Eddy’s documented healings, a helpful “Prelude,” and an “Appendix” containing Eddy’s advice to students on how to heal more quickly and effectively.

Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, wrote this memoir in 1891. The first part of the book outlines her family’s history and her own youth and early adulthood in New England. She then explores her discovery of Christian Science and essential ideas of a scientific Christianity that brings healing. While giving insight into the life of this religious leader, the spiritual counsel in this book nurtures and guides listeners today.
