Letters From Our Readers

"Most resourceful literature"

Insightful articles, colorful presentation, lucidly clear writing. These are the hallmarks of Vertical Thought magazine. I think it's the most resourceful literature one could ever get on not only Christian living but also general everyday living. God bless the United Church of God and the staff of the magazine for impacting millions of lives around the world!

"A very wonderful thing"

Vertical Thought magazine has been a very wonderful thing in my life ever since I began reading it. In fact, all my friends have also become addicted to the magazine. Please keep it up. It is very biblical. God bless you.

"Outstanding article"

I'd like to compliment Mike Bennett and thank him for his outstanding article, "The Loneliness Trap," in the fall issue of VT. I took important notes from it.

The section headings were very descriptive and accurate regarding the scourge of loneliness. Having experienced loneliness throughout my adult life, I learned much from the article and learned of some helpful resources. I'll pass this VT issue on like I usually do, but will emphasize this article in particular.

I wish I had come across an article like this much earlier in my life, for I could have avoided many of the pitfalls I fell into and dug for myself. It offered real, practical advice, which is what I didn't get from the numerous books and booklets I read from famous televangelists and other mainline Protestant preachers.

Basically they just kept saying that Jesus loves me and don't worry. It seemed like they couldn't face the fact that millions of people in America, and in the church, are desperately lonely. Thanks again for your efforts in helping the lonely.

"Interesting for many personalities"

The numerous articles on the VT Web site are very interesting for many personalities. As I read the one on "Finding Your Niche in Life" to my son, age 11, I was very impressed at the variety of articles because, after reading that one (go Sean!), I felt urged to read more! WOW! What great reading you've put on the Vertical Thought Web site! A lot of work and time went into all this, so pass our thanks on to all of the writers.
