Anyone subscribe to God's World News?

We subscribed a few years ago using http://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/ and got a substancial discount but it does not look like they have a special on it now.  We honestly did not use them much. I only have 2 at two very different levels, and for me it was just too much to try try to have both of them do seperate magazines.  We had so many other things we were trying to accomplish that God’s World News just got shoved onto the back burner most og the time.  They do seem to be great magazines but they ended up just not being practical for us. Both my kids were young enough at that point to need me to help them read it b/c my oldest was a slow reader and is dyslexic. If you have older kids, able to do it on their own, or even can pair an older student up with a younger to help then it may work better. 

I kinda felt guilty for not using somethign I had spent the money on, but in the end I decided, it was more important that they have a good solid Biblical basis and critical thinking skills, that way they can hold up to the news they hear and learn to critique it themselves. 

I thought they were good, but we quit when our subscription ended. My jr hi dd had enough work on her plate that I really had to thin ‘non-necessary’ items out of her schedule. I just try to make an effort talk about current events as they come up…which is actually more current than the news they receive from a monthly magazine:)

We subscribed a couple years ago.  I was disapointed in the younger aged issues…they didn’t have much “meat” to the articles.  It felt like a lot to spend on pictures with a couple puzzles.   My oldest was in 4th at the time and those issues were much better, but she never read them on her own.  For what I spent on 3 issues, I didn’t feel like we got our money’s worth.  

I definitely prefered it over National Geographic Kids.  Those were one long ad for upcoming cartoons.
