The HOMECOMING Magazine. (A first class publication!)

Several years ago, almost by accident, something happened in a studio when some old friends got together to do some back-up singing. What began innocently enough as a good time for old friends in the studio has turned into a world wide phenomenon that has reintroduced new generations around the world to some of gospel music’s greatest artists. Folks that for a large part may have passed off the scene, unappreciated, unrecognized and unnoticed.

The man behind the phenomenon: Mr. Bill Gaither.
The name of the phenomenon: HOMECOMING

From cds to videos to dvds to concerts around the world to a first class publication. HOMECOMING is the word!

Just this past month I was introduced to a printed publication that would make any fan of Gospel Music proud. The HOMECOMING Magazine has something that rivals just do not have very much of these days. It’s called “content!”

Not just any content mind you, but quality content! And lots of it! Page for page the HOMECOMING magazine is by far the best printed publication in all of the Southern Gospel market. With relevant, timely articles that encourage, uplift and inform the many fans of Southern Gospel music, HOMECOMING accomplished the same thing in print that it has accomplished in music. A first class portrayal of the lives of those involved in Southern Gospel music and so many personal insights that the magazine is just plain hard to put down without trying to read the whole thing in a single setting.

It is very obvious that this publication has been well thought out, filled with wonderful insights and behind the scenes information, and even has a page devoted to HOMECOMING Kids! (They really do cover all the bases in this one!)

I recently spoke with executives from Salem Publishing about how the publication started and who was the brainchild

behind this incredible magazine. Jim Cumbee and Roberta Croteau (associate publisher) came up with the idea and approached Bill about doing a magazine together in 2002. And as they say, the rest is history!

It began with the Jan/Feb 2003 issue (which is now completely sold out and sure to become a collectors item in the future.) The HOMECOMING Magazine was launched at Praise Gathering 2002 and has been received by fans that absolutely love this publication!



Over the past year the magazine has picked up over 35,000 subscribers, (which by the way is very impressive for a new publication!) Back issues of the magazine are available for 5.00 each by calling toll-free 1-800-527-5226. You can also call that number to become a new subscriber as well. (Just make sure you tell them where you heard about the magazine!)

If you’re a little unsure then why not click on the banner ad for the HOMECOMING Magazine and take us up on that “FREE ISSUE” offer! I can assure you of this much. You will not find a better quality printed publication with this level of content anywhere else!

Some of my personal favorites in this months issue:
Faith and the Arts: I always wondered where Becky Isaacs got those beautiful necklaces she wears….(now I know!)
Backstage Pass: It is always a thrill to be backstage! Here is your chance to see some of what goes on!
Getting to Know You: I really learned a lot about this months featured artist. Kelly Bowling of the Crabb family.
The Misadventures of Mark: What a nut!
The Song Says It: Always a special treat to find out the story behind the song!
Ask B-B-B-Bill: Probably worth the cost of the subscription alone! (I loved this column!)

There is so much more and it’s all great but these are a few of my absolute favorites!
