Articles

World News Articles, Book Reviews, Historical Stories, Inspirational Writings, etc.
There are many good writings by plain people that are never published. We hope to give exposure to some of these through Plain News. This category includes non-copyrighted compositions as well as copyrighted compositions with owner’s consent. We publish world news articles that promote Kingdom living and perspectives. Expect occasional articles on national or world politics. Sometimes we publish articles on business scams, investment traps, and safety practices. We intend for all articles to be safe reading for teens. Anyone is welcome to submit articles for publication.
