Reader recommendation: Through German Eyes

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

Through German Eyes is a rare example of the story of the WWI battle of the Somme. Rare because it uses primarily German documents, letters, and diaries. The tragic four months of fighting ended with little gain for either side. Christopher Duffy presents a scholarly book in easy to read format, supplemented with maps. Excellent for any World War I enthusiast.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

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.
