I’m grateful for a healing that took place some years ago after I’d been married about three years and had recently had a baby.
When I took Christian Science class instruction, our teacher told us that reading a biography about Mary Baker Eddy, on an ongoing basis, was a good activity. I soon found it was something I greatly enjoyed. The biographies of Mrs. Eddy by Robert Peel had recently been published, and I was quite interested in them. However, I can remember deciding (rather presumptuously) that since I’d read several biographies of Mrs. Eddy already and knew a great deal about her early life, I’d just skip the first volume, The Years of Discovery. So I started with the second volume, The Years of Trial, and finished up with the third, The Years of Authority.
I got so much out of these two books, I can remember thinking I had to read the first volume as well. Once I began, I couldn’t put the book down! I loved my new baby boy, but each day at nap time, I could hardly wait to get back into the book.
