Ministry Today Size Change

The May relaunch of of Ministries Today as Ministry Today was our biggest issue yet--in more ways than one. Since the new tabloid-sized magazine arrived in readers' mailboxes it has generated both frustration ("It's too big--it doesn't fit on my coffee table!") and pleasure ("Finally, a magazine that's asking the same questions I'm asking.") What do you think?

What a surprise! I didn't expect such a large magazine. At first, I though it was junk mail and tossed it in the trash before I remembered that the magazine was changing. I sure am glad I pulled it out, though. It's been great reading thus far and just a little obnoxious to handle, but I'll get accustomed to it soon enough. Thanks for the overhaul!
 
I've subscribed to Ministry Today from it's beginning and have always appreciated the articles. I read every copy from cover to cover. I have to be honest though, I don't really like the new size. I appreciate your trying to make improvements and attempt to stay fresh, but as far as I could see what you were producing wasn't broke, why fix it? (One problem with the new size was that the middle section of my copy starting coming loose from the staples) Thanks for contributing the great articles that you have shared that have encouraged and instructed over the years.
 
I have subscribed to Ministries Today since it's beginning. I have both appreciated and enjoyed the great articles that have encouraged, instructed and helped me in my calling as a pastor. I keep every copy for further reference in the future. Thank you for making improvements to keep things fresh and relevant. I will admit that I don't care for the larger, oversized issue. My first copy began coming apart in the middle almost immediately. Thanks again for providing such a valuable resource and tool.
 
Like the other 54% I absolutely hate the new format of your magazine. Not only is it is much too large but because of it's size as I was reading it the two center pages fell out. I hope that you will return to the size of a normal magazine, but I seriously doubt that you will. You will probably just ignore me and the rest of us "whiners"

Sincerely,

Greetings. I have been a subscriber from the beginning. I love your articles and perspective (usually). However if your magazine does not go back to a normal size, I will not renew when my subscription expires (in 2 or 3 years). Hopefully this was just a failed PR campaign and things will go back to normal. Thanks for all the good information over the years.

I could get used to the size eventually, but I do not like it. Worst of all the first few pages came to me torn up.
 
If your copy of Ministry Today arrives damaged, call 1-800-749-6500 ext. 2405 or 1-800-829-2547 to request another copy of the magazine.
