Shalom understands the power of the written word. The ministry was built through the words of hope and faith offered in its first publication, "Shalom Times". Since then, we have expanded with "Sunday Shalom" newspaper and "Shalom Tidings" magazine. Each publication is prayerfully put together and designed. And now, our e-store, "Sophia Buy", offers a platform to build your spiritual library with books that will inspire and educate you and your family in the faith.
"Distributing Shalom Tidings among prisoners as a prison chaplain offers great inspiration to them. Not many prisoners are educated, nor know how to read and write, but those who do know how to read, crave the inspiration they find in the magazine. Once they read one issue, they often ask for more."
"One evening, it was raining heavily, and an Italian lady rushed to see me at our Shalom production house in Toronto with a Shalom Tidings Magazine all wet from the storm. At the door, she pointed out a page inside, saying, “This is exactly like my own life story. I didn't live a life according to the Bible. Now I want to help people who are suffering as I did. Can I please have 10 magazines to distribute?” Later, she took other issues in bulk and distributed them to jails, universities and parishes, so many could be blessed by the great testimonies and inspiring stories Our Lord provides through Shalom Tidings."
"Shalom Tidings Magazine is such a blessing! Usually, a few articles in a publication might enrich me, but that seems to be true of nearly all Tidings articles. Timely and meaningful, the articles are a great tool for educating and uplifting people in our parish. I thank the Holy Spirit for guiding those who produce Tidings – they are a great blessing to my country and me!"
"During Victory 2013, the Holy Spirit made the vision and mission of Shalom Media powerfully clear to me, and I wanted to be part of it. Making a one-year commitment to subscribe to 500 copies of Shalom Tidings Magazine, I showed the principal of Saint Monica Catholic School (K-8) in Kalamazoo, Michigan, videos promoting Shalom World TV and Shalom Tidings Magazine. She was impressed, and I gave her 100 copies of the magazine. I later learned copies were given to St. Monica’s 8th grade students, who read an article and shared what they learned with the class. The principal told me the insights shared by the students were amazing, and a testament to the valuable spiritual nourishment contained in the articles."
"In April, 2015, a nurse in Critical Care left Shalom Tidings in the chaplaincy office, and I read “Hope Didn’t Die with the Baby!” by Tara K.E. Brelinsky. Tara’s son Dmitri lived only briefly, but “he stretched wide” her heart. Later, I was called to the Maternity Ward to a scene of shock and sadness, as parents caressed their lifeless child. I shared with them Dmitri’s story, and left them a magazine. We celebrated a naming ceremony, and the mood changed to one of acceptance, thanksgiving, and renewed faith and trust in God. Since then,I look forward to each new Shalom Tidings, and make it available in my parish. I would liketo help promote it across Northern Ireland, and encourage all to support this inspiringmagazine. Thanks be to God for His loving providence and unconditional love."
