[Faith-talk] Christian Magazines

[Paul]

As far as I know, the Gospel Association for the Blind is nondenominational, 
but it seems to heavily lean toward the Baptist faith.  When they quote 
Scriptures, they usually use the KJV.  It is a monthly periodical.  There 
are some articles reprinted from other publications, chiefly Israel, My 
Glory and American Tract Society.  As to missionary stories, I haven't seen 
many in the mag.  And lastly it is a monthly periodical and is free, but 
donations to cover expenses etc. would be welcomed.  Hope that answers your 
questions, Ashley.  Paul

>> Hi all,
>>
>> The only magazine I read is The Gospel Messenger, put out by The Gospel 
>> Association for the Blind. I currently receive it on cassette, but it's 
>> also available online at www.gaftb.org. It has good articles, a monthly 
>> Bible study going through the Bible a book a month, a fetured hymn and 
>> the story behind it, poetry, and inspirational musings like the ones Paul 
>> sends to us each day. I believe he mentioned that some are from that 
>> magazine.

>> Blessings,
