Our online magazine for spiritual misfits Wrecked for the Ordinary is gaining some traction and providing some quality content. I highly recommend you check out this week’s issue. Here are some snippets of the content:

Animal Abuse and Sin by Karen Swank
I started my “dream job” this week at a Christian shelter for abused women and their children. Part of my training is a big stack of reading on the psychology, sociology, patterns, and problems of abuse, including deep exploration of biblical perspectives on it…

When I first met these widows, I was so guarded. I wondered if it was even possible to have real friendships with women so completely different from me. What does an HIV positive woman in abject poverty have in common with a healthy woman from the wealthiest country on the planet? With a prejudice I didn’t even know I had, I doubted that real friendships would ever be possible…
