Rain of Gold

Rain of Gold by Victor Villasenor. This is a non-fiction account of the author’s ancestors, primarily his parents, and the difficulties they encountered at the hands of banditos & war in Mexico. The families settle in southern California during prohibition. At the end, his father Salvadore, a bootlegger, marries the beautiful Lupe. A remarkable story, and rather well-written.

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.
