Announcing Relief Issue 7.2 pre-sales!

Relief Issue 7.2 is now available at the pre-sale price of just $11.47, a savings of 23%. This issue will hold the mirror of reality up to you and slap you in the face.

• You'll find a story of a farmer's daughter abandoned, pregnant, by her missionary husband, who takes solace in a Thomas Kinkade gallery of all places.
• You'll see the world through Bob Denst's wry yet sacramental imagination that turns a discarded KJV into a flapping bird and a Red Cross blood donation center into an opportunity to encounter something other, and you'll follow Kyle Laws through a series of spiritual emotions you may have forgotten were in the Bible.
• You will also find work from Relief favorites like Jean Hoefling and David Holper, both of whom always manage to take something we may have thought we knew and tweak it into their own idiom.
• You will also find something original under the sun (sort of): a Relief-produced work of graphic fiction called "Earl and LeAnn."
