Timeless knowledge

I found this excellent biography about Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science faith, to be well-written & insightful. The historical background gives the reader glimpses into the life of a family in the early 1800's in New England, while the charming illustrations enhance the feel of a bygone era. Mary Baker Eddy's spiritual journey is documented meticulously without the slightest element of proselytizing by the author. This book is suitable for not only teenagers, but anyone from any faith background who is curious about the beliefs of Christian Scientists - an outstanding introduction.
