Guideposts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing hope, encouragement, and inspiration to millions of people across America and the world. Through uplifting magazines, books, websites, a prayer network, and outreach programs, Guideposts helps people deepen their faith and inspires them to reach their true potential.

The challenges and obstacles they encounter in life can make it hard to know which path to choose. A "guidepost" provides direction. It's that welcomed sign on an unfamiliar road. They'd like you to think of Guideposts as your trusted partner on your life's journey.

Every day, people like you draw strength from their faith and overcome adversity. They invite you to connect with like-minded Guideposts readers, volunteers, and donors who share a sense of faith and belief in the human spirit.

Guideposts is the place for your "daily inspiration" — where you can read inspirational stories, request a prayer, pray for others, or share an uplifting story of your own.

Guideposts offers tools and services that empower individuals to deepen their relationship with God and with others through the power of prayer. OurPrayer is a community of faith comforting people through prayer.

Guideposts reaches out to people in need, to help them sustain their faith during difficult times. They freely distribute millions of inspirational publications including Guideposts magazines, books, and booklets to hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, prisons, and other locations.

Their Military Outreach works with chaplains to distribute more than one million copies of inspirational publications to their servicemen and women stationed at military bases around the world. In addition, our Comfort Kits have brightened the lives of thousands of children who are hospitalized or undergoing medical treatment.

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and his wife Ruth Stafford Peale cofounded Guideposts in 1945. They envisioned an organization that would help people from all walks of life achieve their maximum personal and spiritual potential. The Peale legacy continues powerfully today in their vision for the future — to offer people products and services that inspire, encourage, and uplift.

Dr. Peale authored the landmark bestseller The Power of Positive Thinking in 1952. Though so much in life has changed since then, the principles of living a faith-based life are just as relevant today as ever. They're pleased to offer Dr. Peale's writings, free of charge, in their ebooks section.  

Guideposts.org is committed to connecting people in the digital realm through the power of prayer and a common belief that through faith and the triumph of the human spirit you can overcome obstacles and live an extraordinary life.
