Who We Are
|
Now well into the fourth decade its existence, The Christian Appeal is a monthly devotional magazine designed to honor Jesus and to celebrate our faith in him in a way that will be winsome and understandable to our non-church-going neighbors. Although the publishers are not ashamed of their own Christian roots, they try to submerge
denominational distinctions in order to publish a journal that will minister to all those in any place who honor Jesus as Lord. |
