Editor’s notes

Sometimes we think of faith as a fairy tale – we accept Christ and then live happily every after. In reality, the Christian life is often one of struggle and doubt, mixed with victories and grace. In the first few months of this year, we plan to publish feature articles on various topics that recognize this reality. The first samples are in this issue. May they challenge all of us to be honest about the reality of our spiritual lives and to continue to draw near to Jesus.
