This year it was Christmas in Boston for my wife and me and our whole family, including two grandchildren. As everyone knows, little children add a special delight to Christmas.
Our assistant editor Edward Plowman recently wrote a book called The Jesus Movement in America, published in paperback by David C. Cook. It has already been reprinted twice, and more than 150,000 copies are in print; 100,000 more will go out through secular channels via Pyramid Publications. Time called Plowman the historian of the Jesus movement. His accounts of what’s going on appear regularly in CHRISTIANITY TODAY. Kudos to Mr. Plowman.
According to figures in Advertising Age, CHRISTIANITY TODAY’S advertising linage for 1971 rose so substantially that we were number three in percentage increase for all magazines. Our hearty thanks to our persuasive young advertising manager, Charles Wright. Approximately 80 per cent of our operating revenue is derived from circulation and advertising. The rest is made up by gifts from people interested in our outreach. We say thank you to all who have sent in contributions (and take the opportunity to point out that such gifts are income tax deductible). Incidentally, our paid circulation is now about 130,000.
