The Language of God
Author: Francis Collins
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1847396151
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy and the History of Christian Science
Author: Willa Cather
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803263499
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
This controversial biography of the founder of the Christian Science church was serialized in McClure's Magazine in 1907-8 and published as a book the next year. It disappeared almost overnight and has been difficult to find ever since. Although a Canadian mewspaperwoman named Georgine Milmine collected the material and was credited as the author, The Life Of Mary Baker G. Eddy was actually written by Willa Cather, an editor at McClure's at that time. In his introduction to this Bison Book edition, David Stouck reveals new evidence of Cather's authorship of The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy. He discusses her fidelity to facts and her concern with psychology and philosophy that would take creative form later on. Indeed, this biography contains "some of the finest portrait sketches and reflections on human nature that Willa Cather would ever write."

God's Perfect Child
Author: Caroline Fraser
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250207274
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
From Pulitzer Prize-winning author and former Christian Scientist Caroline Fraser comes the first unvarnished account of one of America's most controversial and little-understood religious movements. Millions of Americans – from Lady Astor to Ginger Rogers to Watergate conspirator H. R. Haldeman – have been touched by the Church of Christ, Scientist. Founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879, Christian Science was based on a belief that intense contemplation of the perfection of God can heal all ills – an extreme expression of the American faith in self-reliance. In this unflinching investigation, Caroline Fraser, herself raised in a Scientist household, shows how the Church transformed itself from a small, eccentric sect into a politically powerful and socially respectable religion, and explores the human cost of Christian Science's remarkable rise. Fraser examines the strange life and psychology of Mary Baker Eddy, who lived in dread of a kind of witchcraft she called Malicious Animal Magnetism. She takes us into the closed world of Eddy's followers, who refuse to acknowledge the existence of illness and death and reject modern medicine, even at the cost of their children's lives. She reveals just how Christian Science managed to gain extraordinary legal and Congressional sanction for its dubious practices and tracks its enormous influence on new-age beliefs and other modern healing cults. A passionate exposé of zealotry, God's Perfect Child tells one of the most dramatic and little-known stories in American religious history.

Discovering a Larger God
Author: John Andrews
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
A FATHER WHO COMES RUNNINGJohn Andrews was the fourth generation in his family to follow Christian Science, the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy. Then he had a crisis of faith that led to his leaving Science and embracing Christ. "The God we meet through Jesus, a Father who runs to welcome his wayward children home, won me over from the perfectionism of Mrs. Eddy's impersonal divine Principle," John says. In these collected essays, he lays bare the fallacies of a Scripture-twisting religion that claims we can think our way to health in this life and to heaven in the next. No one can, Andrews argues; we all need a Savior. Lessons from his life in politics, education, media, and ministry come to bear as John debunks today's credulous culture of self-salvation fads and reflects on his journey to the Cross. This is his seventh book.

Book Description
"Christian Science" by Mark Twain is a collection of essays Twain wrote about Christian Science, beginning with an article that was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. Although Twain was interested in mental healing and the ideas behind Christian Science, he was hostile towards its founder, Mary Baker Eddy. In his commentary, he tells the tale of more than 120 fractures, some or many of which were visible to him, as well as 7 dislocated joints, including his hips, shoulders, knees, and neck. All of these were healed within three hours of the "Christian Science doctor's" visit. Immediately following this healing, he turns to the local country horse doctor to cure a headache and stomach ache.
