Facinating insight into the healing work of Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science. Well researched and annotated. Clear and convincing evidence that Mary Baker Eddy PRACTICED what she CLAIMED that she had found - the Science of Christianity and its Healing Power, The divine Power understood.

This book may not convince the skeptics but I shared it with someone who had never heard of Mrs. Eddy and she devoured the book as fast as she could.

This book reinforces the statement "all things are possible". Mary Baker Eddy saw into the spiritual realm and remarkable healings followed. She was way ahead of her time with her remarkable insight and healing but the world is slowly catching up. The general population now accepts many of her ideas that were once scoffed at. The mind-body connection and the power of prayer in healing have gone mainstream and prayer groups are now achieving what seemed medically impossible. This book of Mary Baker Eddy's healings is very inspiring and gives hope and encouragement to all. She left a wonderful gift for the world that can only be fully appreciated when we catch a glimpse of her message.

Extremely well researched account of the healing works of Mary Baker Eddy. Incredibly inspirational and filled with insight into the workings of this great healer.

I had not heard of many of these healings. This book really points out that we need to do be more active healers.

The content of this book is wonderfully shocking, beautifully presented, and starkly simple. When you begin reading, you realize it's a compilation of hundreds of snippets from eyewitnesses to healings Mrs. Eddy performed day and night, from the time she was a small child. There has never been a book like this. Why? Because Mrs. Eddy is quite clearly a phenomenal individual, perhaps the greatest female (word to Mother Mary) ever to trod the globe. Christ Jesus came to humanity via immaculate conception, primarily to show us how to overcome the so-called laws of mortality. He healed thousands upon thousands of people of sickness and disease instantaneously, and also showed his 12 disciples how. Mrs. Eddy came into this life in the usual human way, but soon distinguished herself as "gifted" with awe-inspiring healing abilities. Still, the teen and early adult chapters of her inspiring life were, surprisingly, fraught with the perils of sickness and adversity. She stayed the course, however, and later in life, with death's dew on her brow, she rose to regenerate a civilization. Convinced God was using her as His instrument, Mrs. Eddy based her life's work upon the study of the Bible, and demonstration of its "inspired word." Like her only example, Christ Jesus, she too healed thousands of ailing individuals, and even raised babies and others from the dead! About 300 of these healings are documented in this book - each proving the so-called miracles that Jesus the Christ demonstrated 2000 years ago indicated no disorder, but instead revealed the primal, divine order. Why the American public has not been made aware of Mrs. Eddy's healing efficacy, which lasted from the mid-1800s until her death in the early 1900s, is perhaps the mystery of our age. Human ego and opaque thinking in America's male-dominated society both contributed to a massive stonewalling campaign to hide and otherwise minimize her glorious example. It has been more or less buried in the archives since the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk, until now. While mankind flourished during decades of scientific and technological advancement, the legacy of this frail, unsinkable woman healed via a religion (Christian Science), a worldwide publishing society (The Monitor), and a global church (Church of Christ, Scientist). This book shows, time and again, how Mrs. Eddy overcame the laws of physics and mortality with ease, and even divine disdain. Quite frankly, she set an example that has not been evidenced in human history since the life and times of Jesus Christ. This book changed my life, changed my perspective, changed my thinking, changed my priorities, it changed everything. It implores us to follow in her example - that we all must, by suffering or by Science, learn to HEAL!

This is a wonderful book and will be most appreciated by experienced and sincere Christian Scientists. It is courageous and timely. It is genuine and fact based unlike some writings that appear to have a malicious agenda. David Keyston has done thorough research and it is an inspiration to read these hundreds of healings.
