Christian Scientists are trapped in a belief system that distorts their perception of reality, teaches them to mistrust their senses, and denies them many of the natural instincts that go along with being human. Perfect Peril is a tool for understanding and recovering from the Christian Science mindset. The book examines Christian Science in light of Robert J. Lifton’s classic criteria for “thought reform” and shows how this religion lures its followers into thinking patterns that can harm them emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It also examines Mary Baker Eddy’s charismatic personality, leadership style, claim to divine authority, and misuse of biblical terms. Perfect Peril has been a source of validation, understanding, and resolution for people negatively impacted by Christian Science.

Raised in a Christian Science family, Linda Kramer loved her religion but left at age thirty for doctrinal reasons. She spent years trying to break its emotional hold, and gained her freedom only after making the connection between Christian Science and mind control.
