Buy for $10.00

Read stories by writers disillusioned with privilege, global travel and the Christian religion. When you question what you’ve assumed is good and normal, things get awkward. If you have courage, you venture forth in search of truth, and things get daringly awkward. In this issue we also publish the winners of our Daringly Awkward Sermon contest. Enjoy!
