Martina McBride in November Guideposts Talks about Finding That Special Feeling

NEW YORK, NY. (Guideposts Magazine) -The new November issue of Guideposts magazine features a cover story by country music star, Martina McBride, about how she found her way professionally, personally and spiritually. Singing since she was a little girl, Martina had gone on to do a lot of things, from being a T-shirt salesperson to performing in Rock & Roll clubs near her Wichita home, but she was burning out, going nowhere and yearning for the pure joy of singing she'd felt as a teenager in her family's country band. Martina tells Guideposts readers how she searched her soul to find what was right for her, about making the tough decision to move to Nashville and what it took to be making the music that's made her feel happy and fulfilled again.

November Guideposts also contains a very special story by Sue Monk Kidd. Best-selling author of The Secret Life of Bees and The Mermaid Chair, Sue began her writing career at Guideposts and a new collection of her early writings, Firstlight, has just been published by Guideposts Books. The very first story that Sue Monk Kidd had published in Guideposts magazine, about learning the lesson of forgiveness, has been reprinted in this November's issue.
