I started reading the book in January, so I had plenty of time to talk about my review with friends and family ahead of its publication. As a 23-year-old, I was excited to tell them how India put words to our struggles: We’re not crazy. Companies have found ways to make money from girls’ normal anxieties, and we’re worse off for it. |

India doesn’t seem to be a Christian, so she’s not pointing people to Jesus. But I hope her analysis makes readers hungry for a better life. Then they might find their way to the feast Christ has prepared (Ps. 23:5). |

The Danish philosopher believed no philosophical system could explain the human condition; the experience of reality was what mattered, not the "idea" of it. His most famous and his first book, Either/Or, sought in part to explain why he suddenly broke off his engagement. |

In this issue of Christianity Today and in this season of the Christian year, we explore the bookends of life: birth and death. You’ll read Karen Swallow Prior’s essay on childlessness and Kara Bettis Carvalho’s overview of reproductive technologies. Haleluya Hadero reports on artificially intelligent griefbots, and Kristy Etheridge discusses physician-assisted suicide. There is much work to be done to promote life. We talk with Fleming Rutledge about the Crucifixion, knowing that while suffering lasts for a season, Jesus has triumphed over death through his death. This Lenten and Easter season, may these words be a companion as you consider how you might bring life in the spaces you inhabit. |
