Please read this sampling of the verbatim comments:

• l think the magazine is wonderful, l just wish it came out monthly or that you could put more pages in the bimonthly issues. l just received the March/April issue and l am amazed how up-to-date you are with current worldly issues, l can't see how anyone could find fault with your magazine, again it's wonderful, l treasure every issue and re-read them constantly, big tick from me.
• Continue with your effort in bringing the truth of the Bible closer to us. Personally I wouldn't have known most basic truths about the Bible such as the Holy days, the Nature of God and the Trinity being a false doctrine if it wasn't for the articles in the Beyond Today magazines, booklets and videos.
• I study each story and underline things that stand out to me. I also take time to look up the scriptures in the Bible this gave me the whole picture as to what you are saying. Your little booklets are every helpful to me. Thank you. Pastor (name given)
• I really enjoy reading the magazines. I am also grateful that they are free, because I cannot afford to give a donation at this time. I thank God that I am able to get them, because they are a great help. I even share them with others as well. I thank God for you all.
• Fantastic magazine. You don't sugar coat the truth. People need the truth and nothing but the truth. Keep up the word of God in my mailbox! Thank you.
• I LOVE this magazine and I eagerly look forward to the next issue. I will continue to contribute ($) in the future! I find this magazine thoughtful, insightful, engaging and educational. Just an F.Y.I., I'm especially interested in prophecy—especially 'end of the age' 'end times' Bible prophecy. Thank You sincerely for your hard word in presenting this magazine for us to learn from. Most sincerely.
• I really would like the print to be larger. It is so small. It makes my eyes so tired. I have wished this for a long time.
• I look forward to receiving each new magazine as I always learn something new. I read it from cover to cover. May God continue to bless your mission on bringing the “Word” into many homes.
• An excellent production at the top of my reading list. I use both the PDF and the hard copy. 
• I think you have a brilliant magazine just as it is as it makes me think about other views and challenges me to think out of the box.
• I was raised without any form of religion. I am learning about Christ/God and the Bible for the first time. I really enjoy reading your newsletters, magazine and booklets. Thank you for helping to open my eyes.

Thank you for your continuing support of our busy team of Beyond Today magazine writers and editors. They are doing a wonderful job in bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God to our world.
