Mary Baker Eddy: A Life Size Portrait offers a comprehensive and deeply researched examination of the life and legacy of the founder of Christian Science. Written by Lyman P. Powell, this biography seeks to present an objective and detailed account of one of the most significant religious figures in American history. The work traces Eddy's path from her early years and personal hardships to the development of her spiritual philosophy and the eventual establishment of a global religious movement.

The narrative explores the intellectual and spiritual climate of the 19th century, providing context for the emergence of Eddy's teachings on healing and theology. Powell highlights her resilience, her leadership during times of intense public scrutiny, and the profound influence she exerted on the religious landscape of her time. By focusing on her character and the evolution of her thought, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the woman behind the institution. This biography serves as a vital resource for readers interested in the history of the Christian Science church, the development of religious thought in America, and the impact of women in religious leadership.
