CAROL STREAM, Ill., Aug. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- The August issue of the Kyria digizine, available today, is open and freely accessible to everyone in celebration of the one-year anniversary of Kyria.com.
Kyria.com is a resource for women who want to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ and in faithfully influencing the people around them. It includes a monthly digital magazine that focuses on a specific spiritual discipline or spiritual theme in each issue. This digital magazine has been available to members only prior to this issue. Now a new feature will allow everyone open access to the digizine with some special content still reserved for members only.
The August issue highlights the spiritual discipline of worship as dwelling in God's presence. Editor Ginger Kolbaba says, "This month's issue of the Kyria digizine encourages women to see that everything can be an act of worship if done in a way that honors God. We want this issue to help our readers link to God in love."
Featured is an interview with Marva Dawn, theologian and author of A Royal "Waste" of Time: The Splendor of Worshiping God and Being Church for the World. Dawn says that worship encompasses all the ways we relate to God every second of the day. "Our faith, our worship, is our basic existence. It's at the root of our lives."
