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.

Sara Nelson, editorial director of books and Kindle for Amazon.com, talks about the 10 books chosen by Amazon editors as the best of October, 2012.
"Live By Night" is the latest thriller by award-winning Boston writer Dennis Lehane and Nelson says it's a great example of Lehane "doing what he does and doing it well." She admits that this story, set during Prohibition, of a cop's son who gets into trouble is "a bit dark." She says, however, that the plot – which "builds and builds and builds and just gets better" – also demonstrates that there is "honor among thieves."
