Publisher’s description: Ruminate is a quarterly magazine for those who desire the space to share short stories, poetry, creative nonfiction and visual art that resonate with the complexity and truth of the Christian faith.
“The handsome photography and inventive mingling of typefaces add to the sense that this magazine is wide open to new perspectives and the free play of the imagination. Ruminate's poetry and prose often address serious subjects, but with a note of hope that is never merely sentimental.” (Jendi Reiter, Winning Writers)
Jeanne M. Lesinski of NewPages calls the work within Ruminate, “especially evocative,” “immediate,” and “elegant.” Of one particular piece she comments, “I was hooked after reading the first line.”
With fresh content and handwrought design Ruminate hopes to create an intimate alternative to the standard literary journal as well as challenge the assumptions about typical spiritual literature. So come, and chew the cud with us!
