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.

What are the best books to pick up this month? From fiction to nonfiction, Amazon's editors suggest the titles that they believe are the cream of the crop.
Booker Prize-winner Alice Munro's latest short story collection centers on how a chance decision or moment can change a person's life, from a mother who flees a strange woman with her child in tow to a young girl who has trouble sleeping and finds herself thinking only of her much-loved sister. "The language is so clear," says Nelson of Munro's stories. "You read this and think, 'Someone else felt this way?'.... They're very powerful."
