Reader recommendation: Wise Ones of Mull

  • By Helen Theimer, Aurora, N.Y.

I have been rereading Wise Ones of Mull: A Gift of Vision by Helen Prentice and find myself again carried away to the 16th-century magical world of Scotland’s Isle of Mull and the stories of its Wise Ones who use their gifts of magic and vision for the good of their people. The heart of this novel, and of its heroines, shines through radiantly. This is not only an engrossing tale, it is a meditation on the nature of deep wisdom and true power. All in all it is a truly enchanting read.

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.
