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.

Here are 11 must-read books for dog lovers.
An auto-didact who grew up during the depression, Rawls only ever wrote two books – "Summer of Monkeys" in 1960 and "Where the Red Fern Grows" in 1961. He spent most of the rest of his life as a motivational speaker. But somehow he hit an instant classic with "Where the Red Fern Grows." This tale of a boy and his two hunting dogs is sweetly written and easy for readers of any age to follow. Read it, if you haven't. If you have, read it again.
