We've been searching the Internet to see what people are saying about Bible Study Magazine, and it's been great! We are thrilled to see so many positive reviews and to be getting so many new subscribers.
In the course of our searching we found that someone even wrote their own ad for Bible Study Magazine and our Kutless track giveaway:
"Hey kids! How would you like to win a FREE subscription to Bible Study Magazine?!? And can you also imagine the idea of getting a FREE mp3 rockin-roll audio music song? Have you ever fantasized about what would happen if your parent's #1 favorite religious magazine teamed up with your #1 favorite rock band and threw a double-threat mega-contest giveaway with a whole buncha cool stuff?!?"
Sounds cool to me!
I did find the copy a bit breathless and "over-the-top", but when you've got an "opponent and satirist of Christianity" (Wikipedia) who was chosen to speak at the 29th American Atheists Convention pumping your Bible Study Magazine, well... I'll forgive the hyperbole. (The man paints his head red and wears little devil horns; he's clearly a dramatic personality.)
I'm not sure this ad (placed on a page where the artist mocks the email he receives from outraged Christians) will be bringing us many new subscribers, but we're flattered, after just two issues, to be on the radar of fans and scorners alike.
We want to live up to the copy and become your "#1 favorite" magazine soon!
I enjoy the Magazine and I used the Kutless article as a sermon illustration to promote the magazine to my church family. I still would recommend to you to do a section "from text to sermon/bible study"
Kay Arthur is the great ambassador of inductive study - great - now show us how preachers/teachers are using logos to "get there". We will all have different books in our library - I think that showing how people are using the software will lead us to new ideas/techniques along the way.
Thanks
