What The Christian Science Monitor Means to Me May 12, 2014 Issue

A 'trusty friend and educator'

Yvonne Renoult

I consider The Christian Science Monitor a trusty friend and educator.

Although the Monitor was in our home while I was growing up, what actually encouraged me to start reading the Monitor was an ad that I saw when I was 20-something. The ad quoted a young woman as saying that the Monitor opened the world to her. She never took much interest in what was going on in the world until she started to read the Monitor. It broke things down in a way that stirred her, educated her, and broadened her perspective. This describes the Monitor’s eventual effect on me.

I am constantly learning from the Monitor that one can approach issues objectively. It demonstrates the value of going beyond the first emotional impression of an issue to look for whatever hidden good might be found.
