Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, 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.

From the lingering effects of the EL James phenomenon to a cluster of thrillers that are also well written, here are the titles that sold best on Amazon in 2012.
The third book in James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy was the top seller of the year. (Amazon didn't count the first two "Fifty" books, "Fifty Shades of Grey" or "Fifty Shades Darker," in their sales round-up because they were published in 2011.) "Freed" follows heroine Anastasia Steele and billionaire Christian Grey as they try to navigate a life together.
