The May 31 issue of WORLD Magazine is available online right now, and through our RSS feed, so be sure to check it out.

The cover story by Marvin Olasky is on Ethiopia, where Christian care is vital in a country recovering from Marxism and challenged by both poverty and Islam (plus a report on Ethiopia’s ups and downs over the past 20 years). And be sure to read Mindy Belz’s column on Christianity in Iraq and Vern Poythress’ thoughts on how storms and natural disasters proclaim the regularity of God.

WORLD is the ideal election season companion for the informed Christian. If you aren’t a subscriber, we’d love to have you join our family of readers and not miss out on all WORLD has to offer, especially as we head toward the final primaries, the conventions, and finally the all-important general election in November. And to make sure you don’t miss out on its remaining Campaign 2008 coverage, WORLD has a limited-time subscription offer for new subscribers: six months for only $18.95. And if you subscribe for a year at only $34.95, WORLD will send you a free copy of Albert Mohler’s book Culture Shift. Click here for more details. Subscriptions make great gifts, too!
