While many devotional publications have appeared and disappeared over the last several decades, the 75-year-old Daily Word continues to reach new readers.
Sponsored by the Unity Church for Christianity, it is now being sent to 1.2 million readers, with another 6.5 million connected through pass-along. According to the report in the Washington Post (June 21), the appeal of its 365 daily meditations lies in its messages of its universal spiritual teachings that transcend religious boundaries. They include themes of stewardship, miracles, healing, relaxation techniques, and other non-denominational themes.
The most popular messages, the editors report, are those concerning physical healing and peace of mind.Its editors also report they receive about one million letters and one million phone calls annually from grateful readers who find daily encouragement in the themes of inner renewal and spirituality.
