Here it is, finally! Tell me what you think?

Justice is—the punishment of the guilty, deserved rewards, a righteous God; the absence of mercy.

Honor is—kneeling in prayer, never quitting, doing what must be done; making the right decision.

Hope is—a quiet faith in things unseen, a chance to turn your life around; the will to continue.

Courage is what happens when you put these three things together.

From the authors of “The Sword and the Pen” comes another anthology, this time branching out to include short stories as well as poetry, drabbles, and prose that defies definition. Authors were challenged to write on one of three different topics and the result is 36 breathtaking depictions of virtue, judgment, failure, and perseverance. Let yourself be drawn into a world of battles and spaceships, werewolves and courtrooms, and the courage to stand up to it all.

Perfect!

I must tell you, I am so excited about the anthology. I really think we have made a step up from The Sword and Pen (though I still love that one). This one just feels like... I don't know. Maybe it's because the themes are so close to my heart. I can't wait to get a copy. :D

I do realize that it is alright technically speaking.... But one of the things I most love about God's ways is his ability to exercise mercy and justice at once. The statement 'Justice is the absence of mercy' I think could be replaced with something better.

Maybe 'quiet' could be changed for something more general? 'Steadfast' perhaps...'

I think this sentence could be phrased more epicly. :D 'Courage is what happens when these three things come together' maybe?

I believe the flow would be better with a comma after 'topics'.

It seems to make sense on first read, but something niggled me, and it actually is a bit odd under closer perusal. 'Let yourself be drawn into...the courage to stand up to it all'? Or 'Let yourself be drawn into a world of...the courage to stand up to it all'? I can't tell which is meant, and neither sense has the sentence as good as it could be. I think it needs some tweaking.

Awesome work, Katie.

As a note to all, I need this text finalized by tomorrow or Wednesday. That means I need it to be posted here with all of the edits completed so I can just copy and paste it into the layout.
