In focus groups, online polling, and one-on-one discussion, Transit Books has found that the number one reason teens don't read the Bible is that it is "too big and freaky looking." This fashion-magazine format for the New Testament is the perfect solution to that problem. Teen girls feel comfortable exploring the Scriptures in the New Century Version and over 500 further-study notes because of the relevant language and format!

Revolve is the new look for teen Bible publishing!

Wow!

I wasn't sure about this book when I first ordered it but after reviewing it I am very glad that we bought it. My preteen just adores it, she actually sat down and read the whole thing through. We think its a great modern twist for the bible. Certainly this would not be appropriate for a girl that stays home and avoids the world, but for those that are living in the real world and trying to raise Christian children in it this is a great piece. I dont care how the Bible is packaged, it is still the bible! Anything that can get youth to read (within reason of course) the gospel is wonderful!!

So, I'll just focus on two things that I haven't seen mentioned.

For one, the format of the book is such that the Biblical text is secondary to the editorial comments, and at no point is the fact that the editorial comments are NOT the inspired word of God mentioned. Now, as a non-evangelical Christian, I do not believe that every single word of the Bible is true. However, even granting that premise to the editors of this vile publication, there should be a clear statement that the editorial text is not inspired. However, the introduction to Revolve states that everything in it is "absolute reality" and "totally true." And, the layout of the text is such that the editorial text and Biblical text runs together. For example, both a Biblical quotation and a quotation from one of the editorial sidebars will both be enlarged to equal size on the page, giving both equal weight. This seems to me a very deceptive way to convince young women who have been taught by their churches that every word of the Bible is true that the opinions of the editors are true, too. It's just gross, in my opinion.

And, the obsession with what girls are wearing is disgusting. In the pages of the magazine, girls who don't dress "modestly" (whatever that means) are called tramps and trash. Those are the exact words used. They are accused of tempting boys. In one very funny passage, they are told to give their "immodest" clothes to Goodwill, apparently indicating that it's okay for poor people to dress like "tramps," just not the good middle-class white girls Revolve sees as its audience.

This is just absolute garbage. Parts of it are just laughable, like the idea that coed prayer is "sketchy, and best reserved for when a couple is engaged" and the exhortation to "buy someone a Coke--and say you did it for Jesus!" But, many parts are for more damaging and dangerous. This is a book intended to confuse young women and to stifle any kind of independent thinking, and the unethical way it preys on the belief in Biblical infallibility of evangelical young women to convince them of the truth of the conservative, sexist ideas of the editors is shameful.

Yet another publication that Transit should be ashamed of.

Also bought this book for my niece along with the book "Jesus Among Other Gods" to answer basic questions. Since we live 2300 miles apart, this can provide basic answers, and then we can discuss in detail over the phone when we can get together. Thank You!

I am 17 and I own a copy of Revolve. My friend showed her Bible magazine to a bunch of girls at a retreat and I decided to purchase a copy when I got home. I have really enjoyed reading it and I find it in no way degrading. I think people are looking too far into it. Sure there are some silly things in there (beauty tips and what guys think) but that's what makes it the magazine format. Have you seen teen magazines lately? Revolve is a great way for a teen girl to get excited to read her Bible. I find it extremely useful and enjoy reading it every night. I definitely would recommend this to all teen girls.

I got this book for my daughter when she was teenager and now she is 30. So I have decided to get it for my 15 year old now. Make them feel like they are reading a magerzina but, reading the Bible. Still having a good effect years later.
