With a printing
of 10,000 copies, the first issue of Guideposts was a four-page
leaflet containing a single story entitled "I Believe in Prayer" by
World War II flying ace Captain Eddie Rickenbacker. The demand for
subscriptions increased quickly. But in 1947
a fire destroyed the circulation files and the magazine almost disappeared.
Fortunately, a report on the fire by the famous radio broadcaster
Lowell Thomas, and an article in Reader’s Digest, set off a
groundswell of support. Soon Guideposts had more subscribers
than before the fire. Today’s Guideposts has companion editions
in large print and cassette for the visually impaired.
