Mary Baker Eddy (Book 2)

Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of my favorite books; let's jump right in.

I picked up this book in one of those lil cute outside free libraries in Brentwood, CA. I was drawn to the title. I had no idea that the story was going to be so relatable & such an inspiration!

Author: Julia Michael Johnston

Title: Mary Baker Eddy: Her Mission & Triumph

Main Characters: This story was mostly narration by the author, it brought Mary Baker to light. ( I was trying to make that sound good🤦🏾‍♀️ truth is; it's been a minute since I read this book I do not remember the characters 😯

Setting: The years 1821 to 1919 mostly in New England

Plot: This story was about a woman who put her mission from God above all else in her life & how she went up against the odds and persevered.

Personal Endorsement: I was completely uplifted by this book. Understanding how a person can show such resilience continues to encourage me to push forward in my life. I related to Mary in many different ways and her story gave me strength & hope. I read it at a time I needed it the most, I used it as a self help book. Here is one of my favorite lines.

Instead of being adversely affected by surroundings, she was able in a measure to permeate the atmosphere wherein she moved with maintained purity of thought and life. Self-distrust, hesitancy, and sensitiveness were overcome

Finding Self PT 10 (Watch Me Flow)

After the injury everything changed. Being laid up like that with no help. I had to hobble to the market only to be ran over by crowds of people that I couldn't keep up with. Being left by the Lyft because the driver couldn't figure out how to come around the corner. Just feeling helpless, abandoned and stranded. Feelings like this will put things in a different perspective really fast. Some people out there have major support and people around to help when things get tough and some people simply just don't. For me I'm one of the one's that don't but I find that strangers are always kinder to me than my own family who is by society's standards supposed to be our first safety net & supporters. N-E-how being laid up like that and alone I had more uninterrupted time to think than I ever did in my life. Self reflection questions that I never even thought of started to pop into my mind. The first one was career wise. The question was ...

A Recovery Love Story

Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️ There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste. As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...
