We hear all the time from readers about the impact our publications and the work of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale have had on their lives. We recently heard from long-time subscriber Cindy Abel about her family&#8217;s long relationship with <em>Guideposts<\/em>. Here is her story:<\/p>\n<p>For Cindy Abel, <em>Guideposts <\/em>has always been a family affair.<\/p>\n<p>Her father, Richard Savage, was a <em>Guideposts <\/em>magazine subscriber for years and gifted each of his daughters and daughters-in-law <em>Daily Guideposts <\/em>every year.<\/p>\n<p>But it wasn\u2019t until her father passed away in 2017 that Abel and her siblings discovered just <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/positive-thinking\/how-norman-vincent-peale-inspired-the-new-book-from-bobby-schuller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how much of an impact Dr. Norman Vincent Peale<\/a>, founder of <em>Guideposts<\/em>, had on him. While going through his things the family discovered a well-worn copy of <em>The Power of Positive Thinking <\/em>and <em>Positive Thinking Every Day<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all knew that my father had a tremendous amount of faith and that&#8217;s what got him through some challenging times in his life,\u201d Abel told <em>Guideposts.org<\/em>. \u201cBut it became very apparent as we went through all of his [things]\u2026that his faith was much stronger than we ever realized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the early 1980s, Savage was going through a challenging time in his personal and professional life, Abel said, adding that it was then he got Dr. Peale&#8217;s Book, <em>The Power of Positive Thinking<\/em> and \u201cjust poured himself into this book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen [he] started getting all the other <em>Guideposts <\/em>publications,\u201d she said. \u201c[He] spent every morning and every night reading these pieces and\u2026starting with that foundation of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/how-we-help\/military-outreach-stories\/dr-norman-vincent-peales-7-values-to-live-by-2\/\">thinking positive and believing in yourself<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The book is full of notes and underlined passages. Some of the notes are dated, showcasing all the years her father spent with the book\u2014dating all the way back to 1982. The notes show that Savage read the book almost every year in the 1980s. He read his copy of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/positive-thinking\/10-things-to-know-about-norman-vincent-peale\/\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;\">The Power of Positive Thinking<\/a> <\/em>so many times that the cover came off and he had to tape it back on.  <\/p>\n<p>Abel always knew faith was important to her dad, but discovering his <em>Guideposts <\/em>memorabilia brought home just how much of a prayer warrior he was. Among his belongings was a collection of letters he had received from <em>Guideposts <\/em>after sending in prayer requests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad always saw the glass half full rather than half empty,\u201d Abel said. \u201cAnd I guarantee you that was impacted by Dr. Peale&#8217;s writings in all the <em>Guideposts<\/em> publications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abel credits her dad\u2019s commitment to his faith and positive thinking for their close-knit family. Her and her siblings all work for their family-owned company.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWe have a very tight family and that foundation comes from my father,\u201d Abel said. \u201cHe was the start of all this. It [was] just a great foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abel misses her father tremendously. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/when-god-connects-us-in-a-very-special-way\/\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;\">She carries on his legacy<\/a> by donating to <em>Guideposts <\/em>and gifting her own family <em>Daily Guideposts <\/em>every year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[<em>Guideposts <\/em>has] become kind of a second family to me,\u201d Abel explained.  \u201cI know how important it was to my father and to be able to\u2026keep that tradition going with my family means the world to me.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2020, Guideposts celebrates 75 years of spreading hope and positivity.
