For a Saturday afternoon of light, but encouraging reading, buy a subscription to "Guideposts." There are deeper magazines, bt don't be fooled... every article here connects richly with the soul.

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.

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.

Guidepost is one of the best magazines around. The stories are true and inspirational . They give you hope and make you feel good about life.I can never get enough of them . I recommend it for people all the world over.

My great-grandmother bought subscriptions to Guideposts for all of her grandchildren year after year. I grew up eagerly reading the stories every month since I learned to read in grade school. When my sister and I married and moved out, my mom continued the tradition by paying for our subscriptions every year. After I read each issue, I pass it along to my girlfriend, who then passes it to her neighbor. My husband and I buy subscriptions every year for our seven adult nieces and nephews, as well as for several friends. These stories never fail to put me in a better mood. Whenever I'm feeling down or I can't sleep, I pick up a Guideposts. Usually, I can't put it down until I've read the whole issue. The stories are all from real, normal, everyday people. They get my mind off of myself, remind me of God's faithfulness, and put life in proper perspective. This is the only magazine of which I can honestly say you will not be disappointed. It is worth the price, many times over. Everyone with whom I've shared it has grown to love it, too. I feel that it's the best gift I can give someone I care about.

I love this magazine, but it is cheaper on the Guideposts website. It's only 9.97 plus .97 cents for shipping for twelve issues. On here, it's 16.97 for one year. In fact, on their website, you can get TWO years for 17.97 there...just one dollar more. Save yourself some money and don't deal with Amazon on this one!!!

This has to be one of the better magazines that feature spiritual and uplifting messages. This magazine is perfect for a source of interfaith Christian articles that are uplighting and inspirational. Often there are articles on famous people who discuss their spiritual life. They have some excellent columns and stories from other readers. Stories aren't too long, and great for a morning devotional.

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.

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.

I have subscribed to Guideposts for quite a few years and really love this inspiring magazine. It my be a small magazine but it packs a big wallop when it comes to inspiring those who read it.

We have had a subscription for several years. Each month we enjoy reading the various stories of how God worked in the lives of individuals. It is non-sectarian, which makes it useful for people from a variety of faith traditions.
