WHAT
IF MONSTERS ARE REAL?
Michael A. King
"The question Imogene asks is an
appropriate doorway into the rest of the
issue: If monsters are real, what else
thought untrue might actually be true?
"
POETRY
BY JOYCE PEACHEY LIND
"It was there, / underneath the
night sky / and the front yard tree, /
that you became a father."

POETRY
BY JOANNE LEHMAN
"Her face was soft and / beautiful,
as we waited / for what would happen
next.
The Turquoise
Pen
WHEN MONSTERS BITE AT
NIGHT
"If there were monsters under the
bed. . . . what else was true that
everyone else said was not true?"
Noël R. King
CONFESSIONS
OF A CHURCHAHOLIC
Amy Spencer
"I am an alien, a stranger to every
form of Sunday-go-to-meetin’
I’ve been committed to. Call me
church-impaired. It’s a weakness; I
just don’t ‘get’
church."
I'VE
COME FULL CIRCLE
Randy Klassen
"Yet it seems when the command to
love our enemies is heard, we dodge the
call. It’s idealistic but
unrealistic, some claim. Some even think
the way to peace is to eliminate the
enemy!"
Community Sense
IN PRAISE OF THE BIBLE
Mark R. Wenger
"I am most intrigued by the way the
Bible serves as a watering hole, a
community gathering place, and a source
of wisdom and sustenance."
DEATH:
THE STING, THE VICTORY
Audrey A. Metz
"It’s still impossible for me
to think of death as a welcoming of
God’s will."
A
SECOND BIRTH
Joe Postove
"I believed Mom could hear me. I
believed we were giving birth to her
death and thus her second life."
Beneath the
Skyline
THREADS OF HOPE IN THE
MYSTERY: A JOURNAL OF THREE WEEKS
Deborah Good
"It feels like a death sentence. . .
. What do you do with such a thing?
Kingsview
THE STORY OF THE MAN WHO
LOVED MUCH AND LOST LITTLE
Michael A. King
"What if becoming more you is . . .
to little by little let go of being
bigger and bigger and let yourself become
smaller and smaller if that’s what
it means to be you. . . ?"
Ink Aria
IN SEARCH OF DISCOMFORT
Renee Gehman
"I think about my own faith, and I
wonder if I may be relying on easy
buttons."
Reel
Reflections
ANIME: CARTOON BRIDGES
BETWEEN EAST AND WEST
David Greiser
"The subject matter of Anime runs
the gamut, from fantasy, to martial arts,
to stories with levels of violence and
sexuality that are totally inappropriate
for kids."
Books, Faith,
World & More
TO BE A SAINT: A REVIEW
OF THE SAINTS' GUIDE TO HAPPINESS
Daniel Hertzler
"The theme of happiness runs like a
silver thread through the Christian
tradition, especially in the wisdom of
its prime exponents, those holy men and
women known as saints."
