- (Dr.
William H. Hornaday, Minister of the Founder's Church of
Religious Science)
This
is a true story although it reads like fiction. The records,
kept by a devoted family, provide minute details of an
extraordinary boy, born
the last of nine sons, who grew up in a remote environment in the state
of
Maine and reached his final triumph across the continent in California
where he
became the founder of the United Church of Religious Science.
As
a teenager he longed to know and understand God and the powers
of his own mind. It was his destiny to find and synthesize the
answers in an
orderly way from the "kindergarten beginning" to the "graduate
finish" of his mature years. Within these pages a reader can learn how
the
Science of Mind which he formulated came into being.
The
book is filled with lively and amusing anecdotes, with
recollections of friendships and pastimes, of formative years on
the lecture
platforms, of struggles against adverse odds, of love and marriage and
loss, of
spiritual conflict and growth and final triumph. But at heart it is the
life
story of a great soul who blended the natural and the supernatural into
one gigantic
spiritual science and won recognition and honors around the world.
