Mary Baker Eddy 
Manual of the Mother Church

Mary Baker Eddy’s ‘Manual of the Mother Church’ is a foundational text for the Christian Science religion, outlining the structure, rules, and practices of the Mother Church. Written in a clear and authoritative tone, the manual serves as both a guide for members of the church and a historical document of its governance. Eddy’s writing style is precise and instructional, reflecting her role as the founder of Christian Science and a respected spiritual leader. The book provides insight into the inner workings of the Mother Church, offering a glimpse into the organizational principles that have sustained the Christian Science community for generations. Mary Baker Eddy, a prolific writer and religious leader, penned the ‘Manual of the Mother Church’ to establish guidelines for the governance of Christian Science congregations. Drawing on her own experiences and spiritual convictions, Eddy crafted a document that continues to shape the practices of the church to this day. Her dedication to promoting healing and spiritual growth is evident throughout the manual, making it an essential resource for members and scholars alike. I highly recommend ‘Manual of the Mother Church’ to readers interested in religious history, Christian Science, or the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. This book offers valuable insights into the organizational structure of a unique religious movement and sheds light on Eddy’s visionary leadership in the field of spiritual healing.
