Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

As the bicentennial of Charles Dickens approaches, here's a list of 20 books about his life, for readers of all ages.
This 1901 book by memoirist and Dickens expert Frederic G. Kitton sheds light on some of the lesser-known aspects of the author's life, including his stints as a journalist, public reader, actor, and social activist. The biography also examines Dickens' driving work ethic which led him to take on an exhausting round of public speaking engagements and may have contributed to his death at the age of 58.
