Book overview
One of Time's women of the century, Helen Keller, reveals her mystical side in this best-selling spiritual autobiography. Writing that her first reading of Emanuel Swedenborg at age fourteen gave her truths that were "to my faculties what light, color and music are to the eye and ear," she explains how Swedenborg's works sustained her throughout her life.
Her life has been described as a lesson of faith, an inspiration of courage, and a symbol of religious truth to all the world. Mark Twain once said the two most interesting characters in the modern world were Napoleon and Helen Keller.
Helen Keller remains the most well-known and accomplished deaf/blind person in history. My Religion, originally published in 1927, is Keller's famous spiritual autobiography. She discusses mystical truths that were "to my faculties what light, color and music are to the eye and ear."
