Saturating the news this spring and summer has been the topic of abortion. In this issue, Tarra Scott writes the cover article, considering many of the arguments made that advocate for abortion rights in the light of both scientific findings and the teachings of the Bible.

Elsewhere in the issue you'll find the story of a man's relationship with alcohol, and the signs of his descent into addiction he wished he'd have taken notice of along the way.

You'll also read basic yet profound truths about romantic relationships that will help you orient your thinking about your future spouse, and a lesson from ancient Israel's decline and fall that can impact your life in the here and now.

Rounding out the issue is the latest Notes on the Way column, featuring an interview with Church member Matt Miller who's built his own general contracting business. He shares how he became a business owner, how he handles potential conflicts with his faith and suggestions for how someone can go out and start earning money on a job site right away.
