CHICAGO (Feb. 29, 2020) – On this Leap Year day, we share 29 stories that have appeared in the Companion in the past four years, many of which have won national awards. All have contributed to the publication being twice named the best denominational magazine during that time.
These stories explore the intersection of Covenanters’ lives with broader social issues, share accounts of personal transformation and triumph, and offer practical advice.
We hope you will be inspired and changed as you revisit these pieces or discover them for the first time.
