Guideposts publishes five magazines that have a combined paid circulation of close to 4.5 million. Guideposts magazine, with a circulation of 3.3 million, is among the top 20 largest magazines in the United States. Other magazines include Positive Thinking Magazine (launched in 2005), Angels on Earth and Guideposts Sweet 16, all published bimonthly.
The first issue of ''Guideposts'' was a four-page leaflet containing a story by World War I Ace, Eddie Rickenbacker. 10,000 copies were printed. In 1947, a fire destroyed the magazine's circulation files, but its circulation was saved thanks to publicity from radio broadcaster, Lowell Thomas, and an article in ''Reader's Digest''.
''Guideposts for Kids'', a bimonthly magazine for younger readers, was spun off in 1989. In 2001, it became a web-only publication. ''Guideposts for Teens'', also bimonthly, began in 1998. In 2004, it was renamed ''Guideposts Sweet 16'', and re-oriented specifically toward teenage girls.
