Miscellaneous Writings

Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896

Mary Baker Eddy felt that this collection of writings was so important, she requested in 1897 that students of her works spend the next year thoroughly reading it. The diverse articles, addresses, letters, and poems--on topics such as mental healing, forgiveness, angels, and marriage--are based on the author's own experiences in putting her system of healing into practice. Considered by Mrs. Eddy to be a book that would help readers better understand Science and Health, it contains dozens of letters from people healed just by reading that work.
