God's Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Metropolitan Books
- Publish date: 02/01/2004
Fraser examines the strange life and psychology of Mary Baker Eddy, who lived in dread of a kind of witchcraft she called Malicious Animal Magnetism. She takes us into the closed world of Eddy's followers, who refuse to acknowledge the existence of illness and death and reject modern medicine, even at the cost of their children's lives. She reveals just how Christian Science managed to gain extraordinary legal and Congressional sanction for its dubious practices and tracks its enormous influence on new-age beliefs and other modern healing cults.
A passionate expose of zealotry, God's Perfect Child tells one of the most dramatic and little-known stories in American religious history.
