FAQ

Hi!

We've found that people have 4 major concerns about subscribing to the magazine, so we wanted to address them here:

1). I don't like to use credit cards.
No problem! We gladly accept checks or money orders. Just send it payable to Rest Ministries, PO Box 502928, San Diego, CA 92150 for $17.97 (U.S. order) or $32 (foreign orders, US funds). Your subscription will begin as soon as we receive your order.

2). I'm not sure if I will like it or not.
We understand that funds are tight and it's hard to commit to something without knowing if it's worth the money. We're so sure that you'll love it though, that we have a 3-issue guarantee. If you don't want to continue your subscription, we'll refund your funds for the remaining 3 issues you've cancelled. Or, you can always order anything in our store and get an issue free.

We also offer sample copies for $4.95 but it's less expensive to order a small item in the store and get the magazine for free with your order.

3). I don't like giving my credit card out online.
You can send us a check, or we also accept Visa or MC. You can call us with your credit card information at 888-751-7378 *; Or send it to us at PO Box 502928, San Diego, CA 92150 for $17.97 (U.S. order) or $32 (foreign orders, US funds). Your subscription will begin as soon as we receive your order.
*Since we have just a part-time assistant that plays phone tag with a lot of people, it's faster to send it via postal mail.

4) Why subscribe when I can get it online?
While it's true we do provide a couple of articles and some condensed articles online, 85% of the magazine is not online. We are best able to provide a magazine for you that is a real, true, hold-in-your-hand glossy magazine; we just don't have enough hours to do both versions. We hope to have it available as an outreach as well, within churches, doctors offices, and support groups. Your hard-copy subscription will include a great deal of encouragement that you just won't be able to get online and it's also a great resource to pass onto a friend who is hurting or a loved one who wants to know more about what life is like for you with a chronic illness..

I hope I've helped answer some questions. If I haven't addresses your concern, please email me personally here.
