Jana Greene is married to her best friend, Bob, and is mother to three nearly-grown daughters.  She is a freelance writer, blogger, poet and recovering alcoholic. Jana writes about addiction recovery from a Christian perspective for WilmingtonFAVS. She's also an editorial intern.
“D. T. Niles once said that Christianity is one beggar showing another beggar where she found food. When I couldn’t love myself enough to lift myself up, I crawled back to Jesus, and he said “You look hungry… come to the table!” Redemption is the best feast ever.”

The saint/sinner paradox

Writer Jana Greene debates the images of sinning Christians in two popular books. She says: "I admit that I forgive and struggle with grudges.  I am sober but crave oblivion.  I run to the downtrodden but turn away from what I see. I am real but I still sometimes wear a mask.  I am no rational animal. My emotions run the show far too often. A born-again paradox, crazy in love with Jesus."
