Why an Anthology?This anthology comes to you from connect.faith, an organization made up of people who are looking for a place to exercise their spirituality through creativity and justice. We see a world that has put walls around Christianity that seems to try to keep people out. Here, in this Anthology, we are giving people a chance to share their literature, their stories, their poems, their memories in their version of what it means to write progressive Christian literature. We hope you will find your own story in their words, and know that we are on a journey together to spread God's love in this broken and hurting world. In Christ's Love, Pastor Debbie Bronkema

Finding Manna is the story of Clare Wheeler, a young woman who feels lost in the middle of her own life. She chose to move far away from home after a broken romance and is living a life that looks successful on the surface. But underneath, she's in a career that was picked for her, in a location that looks like paradise, but feels like solitary confinement.Through getting to know the guests at a place called Manna House, Clare begins to see the world through new eyes. She is stretched to view life through the lens of people who deal with poverty, addiction, immigration and emotional health issues - and those experiences change how she understands her life. Clare explores her identity through adventures and experiences that continuously challenge Clare's view of who she is, what she can do, and how she wants to live her life. She is on a journey to find her own spiritual, professional and relational identity - and claim the life that is hers to live.
