Relief: A Christian Literary Expression

This issue of Relief hits harder than perhaps any previous one. These authors earn what beauty they find in works that confront a father's dreams lost to a changing world, a mother's child lost to abortion, a relationship strained by a condition we don't like to talk about. As our name suggests, this issue truly shows how the light shines brighter against the dark, how the good is cleansed of sentimentality through taking a hard, honest look at our lives.
