            We revisit our 2012 interview with popular Christian evangelical author and speaker Joni Eareckson Tada about the role of faith in her battle with breast cancer; look back at our report on mass incarcerations in the U.S. and the challenges facing prison ministries; and reprise a recent story on the origin and meaning of whirling dervishes in Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam.
