The Magazine Today
Each monthly issue of Guideposts magazine contains numerous short articles by people of all ages, races, and backgrounds, recounting how their faith in God, or the wisdom of an older relative or mentor, has comforted them through personal tribulations. These can include bereavement, poverty, relocations, serious personal or family illness, career failure, immigrating from war-torn countries, being adopted, and strained personal relationships. Natural disasters, vehicle accidents, and becoming stranded or disabled on wilderness adventures are also frequent topics. Most articles contain a snapshot of the author, along with an artistic illustration showing the situation. Monthly lead cover articles often feature the story of a noted entertainer, professional athlete, or other celebrity who rose from poverty. Guideposts also sponsors a writing contest for teenagers to tell their personal stories, with various monetary prize awards. The magazine is nonsectarian and welcomes Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish writers.

Famous quotes containing the words magazine and/or today:
“I have been searching history to see if really a woman has any precedent to claim the right to have her rights, and I am compelled to say that we men are not so much ahead of women after all, and the only way we have kept our reputation up is by keeping her down—and don’t you forget it!”
—George E. Foster, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 38-41 (October 1886)
“Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
