“An issue of Realistic Living is like the breath of the Holy Spirit on paper.”
\nRichard Clark, Salem, Indiana<\/em>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Realistic Living: A Journal on Ethics and Religion is published twice a year, July and November, and mailed to over 400 friends and contributors. Each 16-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 filling 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.<\/p>\n
