Mary Baker Eddy: Her Spiritual Footsteps — Gilbert C. Carpenter, C.S.B., and Gilbert C. Carpenter, Jr., C.S.B.This book reads the life of the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science as spiritual history rather than outward record. The authors distinguish Mrs. Eddy the Revelator, found in her textbook, from Mrs. Eddy the Demonstrator, found in her daily experience. Their premise: the Bible and Science and Health teach by precept, while her life teaches by practice. Each incident, however small, is weighed for the spiritual cause behind it.
The book unfolds as a series of sketches rather than a continuous biography. Close attention is given to her detection and handling of animal magnetism. The material rests on firsthand recollection from those who worked beside her. It is offered as a specimen analysis, meant to prompt readers to trace her footsteps themselves.
