Mary Baker Eddy The Prophetic and Historical Perspective (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781468199260)

Paul R. Smillie, a life-long Christian Scientist, was born in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, in 1941. Later, when the family moved to California he completed primary class instruction when about 18 years of age, became a naturalized U.S. citizen and interrupted college for the Air Force and Viet Nam. Stationed in a secret, remote location, he wrote religious articles for close friends, in addition to accumulating and organizing the voluminous materials needed to begin laying the foundation for his most important work, the biography, "Mary Baker Eddy The Prophetic and Historical Perspective." Completing his military obligation, he resumed church activities and entered the full-time practice of Christian Science. He organized The Gethsemane Foundation in 1985 to support various religious projects including the articles he wrote to support and defend Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, and his biography about her. He taught a non-denominational Bible class and was preparing to broadcast a radio program, "How to Heal," based on the Bible (KJV) when he died.
