520 1  "Millions of Americans - from Lady Astor to Carol Burnett,
       Ginger Rogers to H. R. Haldeman - have been touched by the
       teachings of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Founded by 
       Mary Baker Eddy in 1879, Christian Science is based on the
       idea that an intense contemplation of the perfection of 
       God and His creation man can heal all ills - an extreme 
       expression of the fundamental American faith in self-
       reliance. In this investigation, Caroline Fraser, herself 
       raised in a Scientist household, shows how the Church 
       transformed itself from a small, eccentric sect into a 
       politically powerful and socially respectable religion. 
       And she explores the human cost of Christian Science's 
       remarkable rise."--BOOK JACKET.
