United Passes 5-Millionth Booklet Mark

UCG has now printed more than 5 million booklets, which would make a stack 12 miles high!

The United Church of God passed a major milestone recently when it printed its 5 millionth booklet. To put that into perspective, if all 5 million booklets were put into one stack, the stack would tower almost 12 miles high!

The total number printed now stands at 5,078,000 (English language) across our 32 booklet titles. At the moment, the two most-printed booklets are What Is Your Destiny? and What Happens After Death? (both with 255,000 copies printed).

As a general category, our booklets on prophecy are the most popular. All five are among our most printed, with the titles and number printed as follows: The Book of Revelation Unveiled, 231,000; The Middle East in Bible Prophecy, 220,000; You Can Understand Bible Prophecy, 200,000; Are We Living in the Time of the End? 200,000; and The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy, 190,000.

Other very popular titles are Jesus Christ: The Real Story, 200,000; The Ten Commandments, 190,000; and The Gospel of the Kingdom, 185,000.

In an average year we print and mail 600,000 to 700,000 booklets. This year will probably be considerably higher due to an increase in our media budget, allowing us to reach more readers and subscribers.

We are grateful for the generosity of our members, coworkers and donors that make this possible. UN
