About the Author
Emma Curtis Hopkins, often hailed as the 'teacher of teachers' in the New Thought movement, was a pioneering American spiritual leader and author born in 1849. A former Congregationalist who embraced metaphysical principles, she studied under Mary Baker Eddy before charting her own path, founding the Christian Science Theological Seminary and ordaining hundreds of ministers. Hopkins's writings blend Christian theology with practical metaphysics, emphasizing the power of divine mind to heal and transform. Her seminal work, Scientific Christian Mental Practice: The Original Text, distills her teachings on affirmative prayer and mental discipline, influencing luminaries like Ernest Holmes and Charles Fillmore. Through her prolific output and lectures, she empowered women in spiritual leadership, leaving an enduring legacy in the evolution of positive thinking and religious science until her passing in 1925.
