A Publication With a Purpose
A MANAGER of a public library in Prague, Czech Republic, put a two-page evaluation of Awake! on an information board in the library. Among the things he wrote were the following:
“I am not one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I am neither a devoted supporter nor a deep-rooted opposer of the Watch Tower Society. Nevertheless, I cannot but warmly recommend the Awake! magazine, which I have been reading for a while. Just reading its title once a day would greatly benefit you. However, not only the title but the very contents of this magazine are a fine supplement to commercial magazines . . .
“Awake! has a well-thought-out concept. It offers articles on topics that other magazines are reluctant to publish for various reasons. It points to implications, educates in global consciousness . . . Awake! does not judge. It offers facts and the views of authorities, shows pros and cons, confronts current problems with Bible quotations, and leaves the reader to judge for himself. Moreover, Awake! asks—and teaches the readers to ask—questions.”
On page 4 of each magazine, the section “Why Awake! Is Published” explains: “Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator’s promise of a peaceful and secure new world that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things.”
You will find this promise of God discussed in the final two sections of the 32-page brochure What Is the Purpose of Life? How Can You Find It? These sections are entitled “God’s Purpose Soon to Be Realized” and “Live Forever on a Paradise Earth.” You can receive this brochure by filling in and mailing the accompanying coupon to the address shown on the coupon or to an appropriate address listed on page 5 of this magazine.
