Over the years, supermarket brochure distribution has proved to be one of our most effective advertising efforts in terms of response. This year, seven brand-new brochures are being displayed, including "The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy," "The Middle East in Bible Prophecy," "Marriage and Family: The Missing Dimension," "Managing Your Finances," "Holidays or Holy Days: Does It Matter Which Days We Keep?" and "Heaven and Hell: What Does the Bible Really Teach?" Each colorful brochure offers a booklet by the same title and a subscription to The Good News.

As always, your prayers for God's blessings on this major advertising campaign are much appreciated.
