Description:

In 1866, poor and ill, Mary Baker Eddy had an accident, thought to be fatal. Turning to her Bible and through prayer alone, she recovered. Was it a miracle, or was there a spiritiual law behind this healing? Could others be benefited? Mary discovered there was a law, the same one practiced by Jesus centuries before. She called it Christian Science. This empowering law led her to heal, teach, write, establish a church and become the leader of a worldwide movement. Yet, her life was full of controversy. In her day, women did not have the vote, nor even the right to own property. Who was this upstart who dared to challene the male-dominated fields of religion, science and medicine? to some, like Mark Twain, she was a thorn in the side because of her success. To others, like Clara Barton, she was the epitome of love.
