EXPLORING THE TENT
PITCHED AMONG US
Michael A. King
" God through Jesus pitched and
pitches his tent among us, dwelling right
here with us in the enfleshed
nitty-gritties of our real lives."
POETRY
BY REBECCA ROSSITER
"Sometimes, our quiet / is like a
warm quilt in stifling heat— / I
want to fling it from my legs. . .
."
LOT’S
WIFE
Suzanne Ehst
"The story of Lot’s wife is a
difficult one. So why . . . did I choose
this one? Simple. I would have looked
back too."
FINDING
HOPE EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
Jody Fernando
"My starry dreams melt to realistic
faults as I learn that, in marriage, we
live with human beings, not human
dreams."
IN
THOSE DAYS AT CAMP TEL HAI
Mel Leaman
"In the earlier years I hated him,
looked up to him, and aspired to be like
him. In the later years . . . I have
loved him deeply.
Beneath the
Skyline
MATTRESSES AND GARDENS
Deborah Good
"I love this idea—that a whole
world of possibilities is accompanying
each of us. Maybe it’s like having a
garden inside me."
Kingsview

our culture we turn from those who have
the eyes to see the entire journey."

Milo D. Stahl
"God has something in mind for us
other than a ‘comfortable retirement
at the end of the American
Dream.’"
HANGING
OUT WASH AS SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE
Linda Martin
"The art and science of hanging out
wash go hand in hand."
The Turqouise
Pen
BRIMMING OVER
Noël R. King

happens to boulders when you run into
them?’ he continued, practically
shouting now."
Reel
Reflections
A REVIEW OF "THANK
YOU FOR SMOKING"
Dave Greiser
"’Thank You for Smoking’
is filled with wickedly funny and smug
dialogue."
THE
BLIND SONGWRITER: A REVIEW OF HER
HEART CAN SEE: THE LIFE AND HYMNS OF
FANNY J. CROSBY
Marlin Jeschke
"Crosby had always been a
churchgoer, but in 1864 a religious
experience prompted her to turn her gifts
primarily to composing hymn and gospel
song texts."
Books, Faith,
World & More
IF LAND IS A GIFT:
REVIEWS OF THE STORM
GATHERING, FRIENDS AND ENEMIES IN
PENN’S WOODS,
AND RETHINKING HOLY
LAND
Daniel Hertzler
"The first of these books recounts
problems of the Penn brothers. . . . The
second fills in various details from the
perspectives of the Native Americans and
the Euro-Americans who struggled over the
territory."
