Reader recommendation: The Butterfly Mosque

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

  • By Theresa Scutellaro, San Diego

After reading a Monitor reader's review I picked up "The Cairo House" by Samia Serageldin. It was interesting and informative although the writing was a bit choppy. I would also recommend reading The Butterfly Mosque: A Young American Woman's Journey to Love and Islam by G. Willow Wilson for a more modern version of life in Egypt written by an American as a companion to the "Cairo House." I enjoyed both books. I am currently reading "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" by Stieg Larsson for a totally different change of pace. Really!

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.
