[Steve Myers] On each Beyond Today television
program, we offer a free subscription to the
Good News magazine.
It's the United Church of God's flagship publication.
It's a magazine that helps you understand
what's going on in the world, and there's
going to be some changes in the magazine that
are coming up.
So, today we're taking with managing editor
Scott Ashley about what's going on with the
magazine.
What are some of the changes that we're going
to be seeing with the Good News?
[Scott Ashley] Well, Steve, we're excited
to make the Good News bigger and better than
it ever has been before.
We're adding 50 percent more pages to it,
which means we'll be able to cover a lot of
additional topics, more than we were before,
as well as cover those topics more in-depth.
So we're really excited about that.
As an example, our next issue is talking about
the religion of Islam.
And Islam plays a major role in the world
today.
There's an awful lot…we read and hear a
lot about it in the news.
But why?
Why is it in the news so much?
[Steve Myers] So it's taking world events
and helping people to understand them at a
level that becomes much clearer.
[Scott Ashley] True, true.
That's, yes, we are, as you mentioned earlier,
a magazine of understanding and that's what
we try to do, is explain what is going on
in the world.
But more importantly why, particularly from
a biblical perspective and even more so a
perspective of what Bible prophecy reveals
as to why the world is in the condition that
it's in, why things are taking place that
way.
So, we're really excited about this.
We're adding other sections too about what
it means to truly be a follower of Jesus Christ
and also adding a mini Bible study in each
issue so people can dig into their Bible and
really understand it.
It's a magazine of understanding of both the
Bible as well as life itself and what's going
on in the world.
[Steve Myers] So, we see this is something
practical for you.
Something that would be really helpful to
you.
If you don't have a subscription for the Good
News, be sure to click on the website here
and check it out.
Order that free subscription.
It will really help you as you get closer
to God and begin to understand the world around
you.
So, I guess, maybe, most importantly for people,
why did this have to happen?
Why do you the format of the magazine and
the content had to be upgraded?
[Scott Ashley] Well, we're always trying to
help our readers.
Help them, again, to understand the Bible
better.
To build and develop their relationship with
God, with our Creator.
It's very important.
That's what we're trying to do, as well as,
I mentioned early, helping people understand
what is going on in the world and what life
itself is all about, just as we cover in the
Beyond Today programs.
[Steve Myers] So, order your free subscription
to the Good News magazine.
It will help you as you watch the Beyond Today
television program and certainly help you
understand your world around you and begin
to make changes in your life so that you can
be closer to God and really develop a relationship
with Him and make life that much better.
Well, that's BT Daily.
We'll see you next time.
