If this looks familiar to some of you, it’s because I posted it two years ago. However, I have since picked up a slew of new readers and thought they, too, would be interested in the workings of a Christian magazine, and in this case, the one I happen to work for.
In this Zion’s Hope, Inc. 8-minute video, I explain the process of how one of my articles for Zion’s Fire magazine – “Sharing the Gospel: Back to the Basics” – went from its original written version to its finished published version. One of those “behind-the-scenes” things.

Is the magazine still published?
Almost every magazine I pitched to in my PR career has shuttered.

This was fascinating! Thank you for sharing this. I am surprised though to learn that only 19% of professing Christians read the Bible daily. That may explain some things.

I am really glad where you are and work, because your articles provide me with insight and opinions that I am often not aware of or I need a broader understanding on. So many of use live in our own little worlds of isolation, including myself, so I sincerely appreciate your balanced perspectives David. Just wanted you to know. Blessings brother.

Really enjoyed this video and was surprised at all the revisions that take place. From start to finish, how long does it take? What issue was the article in? I’d like to read it. Thank you and may God bless you.

The magazine takes almost a month to complete because we do other things besides the magazine. That article appeared January-February 2018 issue.
