The message of the book presented with conviction is that thoughts are things and we need to watch what we think for the good of ourselves and mankind. Ms. Lewis gets down to what is probably real, what is core, and that therefore makes an important book...better than merely a terrific book.”

A New Book About Doris Day

A New Book by Doris Day’s Personal Secretary in the 1970s!

Day at a Time:
An Indiana Girl’s Sentimental Journey to Doris Day’s Hollywood and Beyond

by Mary Anne Barothy

From the publisher Hawthorne Publishing [www.hawthornepub.com] of Adam Dickey: Secretary to Mary Baker Eddy

Christian Scientists will be interested in Hawthorne Publishing’s general market book about the woman recently voted the most popular movie actress of all time.

Doris Day was one of the best known Christian Scientists in the nation in the 1950s and 1960s. Mary Anne Barothy left her society reporter’s job on the Indianapolis News in 1968 to travel to Hollywood to get to know, and be near, her idol. Doris came to know and trust her and hired her as her secretary, a post Mary Anne filled for four years, almost two of them living in Doris’s home.

Just about this time and after the passing of her husband Marty Melcher, Doris left the formal church but she never really left the metaphysical background or demanding Christian practice of Christian Science. These were important days in the star’s career: she had just completed her movies and was working in a TV series; she was left in financial difficulties through mis-management by her agent; she was re-bonding with her son Terry. Mary Anne Barothy was in Doris’s life at the time of these challenges. Spiritual discussions with her secretary are part of this story.

Many personal stories about life in the house: 11 dogs vying for attention, camera crews coming and going, fans showing up at the door to stay with Doris, life on the TV set—all these and 30 some new pictures never before seen make this a wonderful, positive read and a fine gift. Mary Anne is the only person outside of family to ever live in Doris Day’s home.

The book is actually a tribute to Doris Day, whom her live-in secretary and friend discovered was very much like the pretty, spunky, clever and fun-loving girls in the movies she played. She was, and is, an authentically good lady!

THE ASSOCIATION ADDRESSES OF WILLIAM R. RATHVON

Transcript 120 pages $24.95

William Rathvon is remembered as one of the earlypioneers in the movement. He served Mrs. Eddy for twoyears as associate secretary in her home. His association addresses are like a modern day Book of Proverbs in which he shares wise and practicalinsights into Christian Science. He focuses on the need to live Christian Science day-by-day, and to use it in healing ourselves and others. His few paragraphs on each subject give us the essence of his message, as the following example shows.
Light and Darkness: All the darkness of the universe cannot obscure the light of one little lamp. So is it with your understanding of the spiritual idea which heals sickness and sin. It may seem to you to be small. It may seem but a tiny filament of understanding glowing incandescent with the white light of divine Love; yet it carries the brightness of health and joy into the black darkness of sickness, and the dull gloom of distress. When error comes to you and argues that your lamp is too small for the very dark place, silence it. Turn on it and deny the lie. Push the button, and you will prove that the blacker the darkness the brighter your light. Then the voice of the tempter is silenced, and the warmth of gratitude radiates from the light of Love. Our world has changed dramatically since these addresses were written, but the need for healing is as great as it has ever been. Sometimes it is the simple, practical ideas that meet our immediate need, and these thoughts from the pen of Mr. Rathvon supply this need.

MAN’S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD
by Helen Spangler

Hard Cover 120 pages $19.95

This is a book of four addresses by Mrs. Spangler: “God, the Synonyms of God, Man's Relationship to God”; “Body”; “Substance, Supply, Space, and Salvation”; “The Four Rivers.” Many healings come about as we gain a deeper understanding of God. While we presently seem to live in the mortal dream, Mrs. Spangler shows how the transformation of consciousness is possible — indeed, inevitable. Although our entire being — our life, our body, our world — are here and now spiritual, the darkened, material thought, like a fog, prevents us from discerning this. She supplies basic ideas that dispel the fog of mortality and bring to light the fact that “now are we the sons of God.” She writes on the subjective nature of being. Her style is so clear that it illumines thought with ideas that transform how we see ourselves and our world. She helps us to become accomplished metaphysicians and healers. On subjectivity, she says, “Because the whole creation exists subjectively in the Creator, the Creator consciously guides, governs, protects, preserves, and sustains every existing thing (thought). Everything lives, moves, and has its being in Him subjectively.” On the subject of body, she remarks, “Let us further consider body in order to make the mental adjustment
from the false belief that our body is material or human, to the understanding that our present and only body is spiritual and immortal. I am not trying to spiritualize matter, but I am endeavoring to de-materialize our concept of body, of man.” Her thoughts on the spiritual nature of body are extraordinary. Mrs. Spangler was a teacher in Los Angeles from the 1930’s until 1964. She contributed many articles to the periodicals. Her simple, but profound, explanation of such advanced ideas makes this book an unforgettable experience.

THE SCIENCE OF CELESTIAL BEING
by Julia M. Johnston

Hard Cover 84 pages $16.95

How often have you read in Revelation of “new heavens and a new earth” and longed for some insight into this spiritual universe? Christian Science opens the way to understanding this hidden realm. As an early Christian Science teacher and practitioner, Julia Johnston was among the first to define it in such a way that you begin to realize that you are already in the spiritual universe although you are not yet deeply aware of its presence. In this collection of ten articles originally published in The Christian Science Journal, you begin to visualize this realm of divine Mind. Mrs. Johnston’s articles give a powerful description of the spiritual laws, qualities, structure and contents of this unseen realm. Through her extraordinary talent for sharing her vision, you learn that the future is not destined to be a dark and endless struggle between the forces of good and evil, but a gradual emerging into this realm of infinite Love — bright with the promise of ever-increasing good for all of humanity. As you come to understand the divine Cause filling all time and space, you share Mrs. Johnston’s vision of the health and harmony that the world is destined to know. She lifts you above a world of chaos and confusion into an atmosphere of hope and assurance. She outlines a future bright with John’s promise of “a new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven.” Mrs. Johnston was a life-long Christian Scientist during the early years of the movement. She became a practitioner in 1913, and a teacher in 1916. She herself taught the Normal Class
in 1940. The deep spirituality of her book will make it one you will return to many times as your understanding of Christian Science unfolds.

THE BOOKMARK MEDLEY

Hard Cover 96 pages $19.95

The purpose of this book is to help you build a strong spiritual foundation by providing excellent writings in many subjects – relationships, health and healing, supply and employment, prayer and demonstration. It is a collection of inspiring works from the past that includes many familiar names: Frances Thurber Seal, Martha Wilcox, Adam Dickey, Edward Kimball, Frank
Mason, Peter V. Ross, Richard Strain. The following excerpts illustrate the depth and diversity of the articles in this first volume of the “Medley” series. In her outstanding essay, “Consciousness,” Martha Wilcox writes: “There should be firmly established in the mind of every student of Christian Science, that there is nothing that can produce consciousness. One can never go further back than consciousness, because
there is nothing further back. Consciousness is.” Adam Dickey, in his address of 1910, writes: “There is an established rule in metaphysics, and it is this: thought always externalizes itself. It makes no difference where you are or what you are, the rule holds good that thought externalizes itself. Disease is always the result of a wrong thought which is externalized on the body.” An article by Frank Mason, “Hints on Healing,” states:
“When a man can master in himself anger, malice, hate, lust, and so on, he will become master over the elements. Lightning, volcanoes, whirlwinds, and earthquakes are but intensified expressions of the individual evils enumerated. . . . A man is at the mercy of the material furies, so long as he has miniature ones in his thought.” Included also are Edward Kimball’s article, “ Opportunity ,” Richard Strain’s “Spiritual Plenty,” and Peter V. Ross’ essay, “The Cornerstone of Christian Science: Perfect God and Perfect Man.” This is a powerful collection of papers that you will refer to again and again.

Purchase from iUniverse.com [click here]

Author Bruce Stores has shed light on a hitherto unknown chapter in the annals of Christian Science. This is the story of lesbian/gay believers. Herein is their pursuit for respect and dignity in the Church of Christ, Scientist. The narrative traces stormy encounters from the days of near total rejection up to the friendlier atmosphere in the 21st century. This is a story of perseverance, hope, and especially healing.

"Bruce Stores has done a superb job of pulling this story together, ferreting out little known aspects of it and placing it all in the context of America's unfolding political and religious life. What comes through. . . is that in spite of all the homophobia, church politics, hopes dashed and partially re-assembled, Christian Science still blazes bright for those who want it." — White Crane Journal
