Pass THE WORD: real, BibleZine™

I was sending this info to a friend and I was like hold up...let me share it with my Soul Shout fam and friends too. So from me to you--with much love.

real which is a Biblezine containing the complete New Testament and articles, prayers, etc., in urban/hip hop language. I reviewed it for my son’s magazine, YARDstyle. I'm using it now in my studies for a fresh perspective on THE WORD I've grown to love.

Here is my review:

real, BibleZine™ seeks to connect a diverse hip hop urban culture with timeless truths. Using a full-color glossy mag format, it contains the complete New Testament along with articles within Departments like, Bible 411; Music Reviews; How Ya Travelin’?; HHB Stories – Bible stories retold in the language of the street; Connecting – Biblical truths about relationships; God Unit – Testimonies, "Dope Christian Rhymes; Overwhelming – targeting issues such as: AIDS, Poverty, Drugs, and Violence; and Jail Ain't No Joke – written by ex-convicts. My favorite Department was “Heart Cry” – Dilemmas, prayers and answers. One prayer begins “Lord, help me out! I’m struggling with sex…” And ends with “I want sex to be all you meant it to be, not just a way to spend time. Thanks for being there, God.”

The presentation? Awesome. The content? Life-changing. REAL also includes a free music CD and is 400 packed pages of practical daily-living tools that will help folk get real and keep it real.

real is published by Thomas Nelson and available in whereever books are sold including Amazon.com.

Pass THE WORD... real love, Stanice Anderson www.stanice.com
