Meet Jana Greene. She'll be writing about addiction recovery from a Christian perspective for WilmingtonFAVS. Plus, she's also an editorial intern for the site.

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. 
“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.”
