A Girl Named Zippy

A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana is Haven Kimmel’s wise yet witty memoir of a rambunctious small-town childhood. Zippy said nothing until she was almost 3 years old. When her dad told her she was too old for a baby bottle, she pulled it from her mouth and spoke her first words: “I’ll make a deal with you.” If you read this book, prepare to laugh.

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.
