Magazine version of the Bible, Revolve, draws young female readers

Revolve, a new magazine style New Testament, may allure young teen readers to explore the abundance of the ancient text.

The irony is that this is exactly what the creators of this strange new edition of the scriptures hoped would happen. Well, not that a middle-aged guy would throw it away — but definitely that their wild new edition of the Bible would be mistaken for a glitzy magazine for young women.

For years now, marketing gurus have been trying to improve on the world’s best-seller, creating dozens of new niche Bibles filled with special inspirational messages for everyone from pregnant women to recovering substance abusers.

But, frankly, I had never seen a Bible like Revolve, the name that Thomas Nelson Inc. has given to this magazine edition of the New Testament. I wondered whether Nelson, in its search for fresh customers had gone off the deep end with cover lines like: “Are You Dating a Godly Guy?” and “Beauty Secrets You’ve Never Heard Before!”

  18. This can be found at all major book stores. Just one word of caution, the translation they use is the “New Living”. This translation attempts to be politically correct. Look into this before you purchase. This is done in a “magazine” format, but is a one time publication of the New Testatment. In other words it is not a monthly publication. For those of you looking for a great replacement for trashy seventeen magazines and the like (who pose questions to our teens like “are you ready for sex?”) — Get your teens a subscription to Brio, or Brio and Beyond for older teens. My “cool” daughter loves these magazines. Put out by Focus on the Family, you can subscribe at family.org. There are articles on make-up, clothes, guys, etc. all in a Christian view. They also have “Breakaway” for boys.

  19. I do marketing and public relations and I must say, this is the worst website I’ve ever seen from a customer’s point of view, and of course we know the customer is EVERYTHING…

    there is no info about ordering the magazine Revolve, or if there is, it ain’t user friendly.

    You have 24 hours to tell me how to get two copies for my teenage daughters OR…

    I’m not buyin’

  20. Trying to find where to subscribe to the Revolve magazine for my daughters… Of sites, I did look at amazon.com, but only saw the Revolve Bible (book) for sale /not a magzine subscription…

    Still searching & wanting to hear where to order.

    Thx.
