Reader recommendation: The Tiger

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

The Tiger by John Vaillant is the best book I’ve picked up in years, even better than the nonfiction murder mysteries I usually read. This “true story of vengeance and survival,” as the subtitle puts it, tells about a man killed by a tiger in the far eastern reaches of Russia. It’s a real page turner and very well researched.

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.
