A good word, in and of itself, can be a spiritual endeavor expressing the beauty, creativity, and ironies of the human experience. Because of this, RUMINATE publishes work with both subtle and overt associations to the Christian faith as well as work that has no direct association. Ultimately, we are seeking writers and artists who are interested in the process of creating quality work that reveals the nature of Christ, in whatever form this may look like.
