PERSPECTIVES ON MRS. EDDY

with contributions from Larry Dossey, John E. Fellers, Tina Saxon

Larry Dossey, M.D. Executive Editor Alternative Therapies

Mrs. Eddy is a heroine of mine. I regard her as a great physician, a courageous explorer of the power of consciousness in healing. It required immense courage to take the stand that she did. I think she would really love to see some of the developments in scientific medicine now showing the distant effects of prayer. She would not be surprised; she would be validated. And I think she would be very happy to see these developments.

John E. Fellers, M.Div., D.D. Executive Director Institute of Religion Texas Medical Center

She kept reminding us in a very real way that there is an interconnectedness with what goes on in the soul, spirit, and what goes on in the body. This is the great "medical school" contribution of Mary Baker Eddy.

Reverend Tina Saxon Pastor Disciples' Baptist Church Boston, Massachusetts

To find a woman so strong that she can heal body, spirit, and start a whole Church, now that's something that stayed with me for life.
