Publisher's notes --- July 2000
There is a longing within the hearts of men and women. It is what Maslow called the search for "self-actualization". Christians, having found part of the answer to this quest, relationship with God, want others to find this part of the answer, too.

This is the theme of a trio of articles this month. Ordinary Attempts by Jim Henderson looks at how authentic gestures are the key to introducing others to the God-relationship. David Hopkins, in part 2 of his series, Running to Stand Still, looks at the question from a similar angle. E-vangelist Andrew Careaga explores how influential Christians have taken the wraps off their true colors with a roar!

Dan Revill writes a challenging article in response to the rap "artistry" of Marshall Mathers, Eminem. Who is Eminem accountable to? Or for that matter, who are you accountable to?

Leslie Ramusack's comments on Dr. Leonard Sweet's newest book on the subject of Godly living in the postmodern world, SoulSalsa are reprinted this month.
