If you are looking for an amazing way to get your young teens to interact with God, this is a perfect way. The book, or rather the Bible, comes in the form of a magazine. Complete with pictures and easy-to-read descriptions. The way this biblezine is laid out, it would peak any teens curiosity.
The authors and editors put it together wonderfully and I highly recommend it to all parents of teens out there.

I was excited when this book arrived. I was positive that my teen would love it, so I gave it to her to open and look over. She disappeared with it and that evening she came to me and said she read over the articles and was hugely disappointed. She brought the Biblezine out and we went over it together and she explained what she felt was wrong with it - and I was shocked with what she showed me.

The description on the website boasts "...this New Testament continues showing teen girls that the Bible is relevant to their lives." I had expected a flashy type magazine to catch a teen's eye, but with articles that would compliment the New Testament text that was on the page and maybe bring that text to something relevant to life today. What I discovered was a bunch of articles thrown in throughout the NT with no rhyme or reason. There were make-up tips, hair dyeing tips, fashion advice, guy tips... and nothing that would really enhance the Bible scripture on that page. I couldn't find any connection at all. The NT text is there as well as a few Bible notes, but I really doubt that it would be read. Featured on most pages are verses of
the Psalms in text lingo that my daughter felt was "horrible" and had no place or purpose at all.

My teen described "Revolve 2010" as "cheapening the Bible". She said if she wants a teen magazine, she'll buy one. If she wants something that helps her apply the Bible to everyday life, this isn't it. She stated matter-of-factly she won't be recommending this to anyone. she thought

I, too, read over the articles and understand what she's talking about. I was so excited as a parent to find something I thought would appeal and be useful to my teen. Instead, I found something my teen found distasteful. Teens don't need something flashy or worldly - they want substance! Sadly, this just doesn't meet that bill.

When the magazine arrived in the mail, I was very impressed. The cover was bright and inviting. As I read the magazine, I found very interesting topics mixed in with the Bible verses. There were snippets on "Dudes", books, beauty tips, quizzes and many more interesting facts. I have always found the Bible to be hard to read and I have to admit, I have not read it completely. "Revolve 2010" uses the "New Voice Testament" version of the Bible. The magazine made it easier to read and I was able to understand the information better. I liked everything in the magazine and I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

I remember reading this book/magazine back in 7th grade.
I really didn't understood it, but I remember it had good tips about makeup, how to act and, of course, it had some parts of the Bible.
