Helen Keller — My Religion (1927)

Helen Keller’s own account of the spiritual beliefs that shaped her life.

In this book Keller explains her religious faith, which drew on the writings of the eighteenth-century thinker Emanuel Swedenborg. She describes how those ideas gave her a sense of inner light and freedom that her physical limits could not take away.

Whatever a reader’s own beliefs, it is a moving look at how she made sense of her life.
