Lessons in Truth: A Course of Twelve Lessons in Practical Christianity

Inspired by biblical teachings and influenced by the ideas of Ralph Waldo Emerson, H. Emilie Cady's *Lessons in Truth* has sold more than 1.5 million copies since its publication in 1896. A handbook of 12 simple lessons exploring the nature of Truth and the presence of God in all aspects of our lives, Cady's pioneering work provides a clear path to spirituality and well-being to anyone seeking enlightenment. Born in Syracuse, New York, HARRIET EMILIE CADY (1848-1941) left a career as a schoolteacher to become a physician and a doctor of homeopathic medicine. Originally associated with the New Thought movement of the early 20th century, her medical and spiritual teachings remain fundamental to the Unity School of Christianity. Along with articles for *Unity Magazine*, her other works include "How I Used Truth" and "God, a Present Help".

H. Emilie Cady (1848 – 1941) was an American homeopathic physician and author of New Thought spiritual writings. Her 1896 book Lessons in Truth, A Course of Twelve Lessons in Practical Christianity is now considered one of the core texts on Unity Church teachings. Cady's first job was as a schoolteacher in a one-room schoolhouse in her hometown. In the late 1860s, she decided to pursue the field of medicine, and enrolled in the Homeopathic Medical College of the State of New York. She graduated in 1871, and becoming one of the first woman physicians in America.
