remembering Mary Baker Eddy

Spiritual resource to share:  the ongoing influence of a life of Christian healing

Today, my Google Alerts were full of references to Mary Baker Eddy, as it was 100 years ago today that she passed away,  In addition, friends have posted about her ( see Tony's wonderful collection of

100 reflections on why Mary Baker Eddy's life and ideas still resonate 100 years on! ) , tmcyouth.com has their own list of 100 things to know about Mary Baker Eddy and others have used social media to share their comments on her life, just as I am doing here! 

Above all things, Mary Baker Eddy had an incredible record of Christian healing.  Of the many biographies about her, the book Christian Healer ( Amplified edition) written by Yvonne Cache von Fettweis and Robert Townsend Warneck, is one of my favorites.  This book brings out,  more succinctly than others, how Mary Baker Eddy healed.  Or, I could say, how Mary Baker Eddy loved, because healing and loving are so closely related. More than 300 documented cases of healing by Mary Baker Eddy are included in this one book.

The Mary Baker Eddy Library hosted an author talk with Robert Warneck which you can hear by clicking here and scrolling down halfway to the page where you will see this explanation:

One of the original authors of Mary Baker Eddy: Christian Healer, Robert Warneck, discussed the recently issued amplified edition of this bestselling book. This new edition includes many more documented records of Eddy’s healing work, and presents her life story as a narrative of healing. There was also an opportunity for questions and answers with the author.

I have been deeply influenced by Mary Baker Eddy's life.  She not only has modeled courage and compassion, but also given me an example of how to love, how to heal and how to be the blessing to one another that we were all meant to be.
