Reader recommendation: Washington: A Life

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

I am currently reading Ron Chernow’s Washington: A Life. Although I consider myself a bit of a history and military buff, I don’t know much at all about Washington or the Revolutionary War. This book is my first step toward remedying that. I’ve heard Chernow’s biography is very readable and reliable.

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.
