published twice a year, July and November, and mailed to over 500 friends and
contributors. Each 16-20 page 8 1/2" X 11" issue contains
reflections, essays, book reviews, movie reviews, and sometimes poetry on
current ethical issues and on topics of Christian resurgence, including
dialogue with other religious expressions. With this journal we are attempting
to fill a gap in religious and ethical publishing—more secular than the
religious press, more religious than the secular press. We are concerned to
illuminate time-tested wisdoms in contemporary metaphors and stories. Our
November 2013 journal will be our sixtieth issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 31px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5"><a href="http://www.realisticliving.org/index.htm">http://www.realisticliving.org/index.htm</a></font></span></p><div><br></div>
