Guideposts

This is the kind of magazine both Catholics and Protestants can both love. It is great gift for your friend who attends the church across the street from yours.

Short vignettes and more involved profiles color this magazine in much the same way a Reader's Digest might, except with a clear spiritual flavor.

It is ecumenical yet uncompromising: I fully recommend "Guideposts." You won't be disappointed.

I love the magazine, but once you subscribe...you get inundated with all kinds of offers. I felt like the magazine was a gimmick to get me on their mailing lists ...and all their friends. I finally had to quit taking it....then all the other offers stopped.

I agree with the other person who stated that he had to stop subscribing to this mag because of all the offers received. Ever since Norman Vincent Pearle who originally created this magazine passed away they started to bombarde people with offers to spend more money all the time and it gets riduculous! I always loved the magazine with the true stories,and would resubscribe but had to stop for the same reason and it's a shame.


Beware of all the junk mail   April 26, 2005

If you need motivational stories, this ia a great magazine, but read it at your local library. Otherwise, you will receive a lot of junk mail, too. From renewal letters starting 6-8 months before expiration to charities asking for your donation. There is no month without some unsolicited letter from GP.

The magazine itself is more like 4-5 stars, but the junk mail is so annoying that I deducted 1 star and decided not to renew my subscription. I won't even tell them my new address when I move. Better lose 3 numbers than be "subscribed" to unsolicited offers in my new place.

My wife got we started on this one during our nightly bedtime reading. She'd say "here's a good one" and read it to me. The nice thing about this publication is that it doesn't cram religion down your throat. Every piece is concise and spiritually uplifting without being preachy. I give it 4 stars only because it's a little too sappy for me sometimes, kind of like watching 7th Heaven, but if you want something that for a few minutes of time can leave you in a much more spiritual frame of mind, this is it.
