With all of the concerns over religious issues in the USA and the world over, I started exploring many religions, just to understand what motivates people and what their beliefs entail. This is just one of many books I've recently purchased for my Kindle. I believe knowledge brings tolerance for other belief systems and can reduce fears while also uncovering myths about religions other than one's own.
I have spent a lifetime researching religious and spiritual organizations, individuals and movements and have spent much time on the period into which the establishment of Christian Science (CS) falls. The intellectual atmosphere in New England fostered many works and movements in the spiritual arena. Eddy's work is one of many and certainly one that requires deep reflection for those not put off by the writing style common for the time...it can be difficult.A female who defied the male dominated society through her writing, establishment of a college ( and a college of spiritual thinking, no less), newspaper and a "religion" certainly attracted negative attention throughout her professional life. I find her a fascinating historical figure who would be better remembered today had she been a man!This "book" merely rehashes the same tired attacks made during her lifetime by writers and critics who couldn't tolerate her success or thought which steps outside conventional Christian dogma.Robert Peele's works are factual, well researched and written well. I recommend his work.This "book" has very little factual information and is strongly biased...and poorly written. I'd pass.
I have read all of Val Waldeck's book and have to say that I find them so Inspirational & Spiritual. She is an amazing teacher and has special insight into everything that she writes.I look forward to more of her wonderful books being published.Val MitchellDurban, South Africa
