NEW YORK - Dec. 8, 2009 – This Christmas season, the spirit of giving can come with the powerful, transforming message contained within the pages of Bible Illuminated: The Book, New Testament, a magazine-style Bible that delivers the New Testament in a way that captures the imagination. This transforming message is expressed in a well-known Scripture, Luke 3:10:

“The people asked him, “What are we to do, then?”

He answered, “Whoever has two shirts must give one to the man who has none, and whoever has food must share it.”

“This simple, yet profound insight has inspired us to make this special “Buy One, Give One” offer – when you buy the New Testament for yourself, we will send you a second copy to give to someone else,” said Michael Perry, President of Illuminated World Media, Inc. the publisher of Bible Illuminated.

“We believe that this simple act has the power to change two lives – yours, and someone who God has put in your path,” Perry said. “Many people who see the Bible Illuminated say that, ‘This is the Bible as I’ve never seen it before.’ We want those people to read and understand the deep spiritual richness and truth contained in the New Testament. That’s our hope and our mission.”

To receive two copies of Bible Illuminated and see how simple, yet powerful, your gift can be, go to http://www.bibleilluminated.com. The special promotion “One to Have, One to Give” is currently available for the limited-time price of $19.99, starting today. Visitors can also see the entire Bible Illuminated for free on the site. No special promotion code is needed.

According to the American Bible Society, “Bible Illuminated has profound messages about what it means to live in harmony with our fellow human beings, the importance of justice and mutual respect, and the urgent need to care for the planet we cohabit.”

Sojourners Magazine - April 2009

“If Söderberg’s Book has an agenda, it is to provoke. And that it does. (You’ll love it, or you’ll hate it. There will be no room for indifference.) If it has an ethos, it’s the unapologetic, unblinking ethos of social justice at the core of Christ’s life. Because its content and design issue political challenges, The Book is in step with the zeitgeist. The timing of its U.S. release couldn’t be more apt, in a climate of political change and the awakening of the political consciousness of millions of young Americans hungry for real dialogue about what they see in their world, here and now. Hungry to be provoked. Hungry for a meta-narrative that’s not hollow at the core—and one that’s not just introspective.”

Leading photography publication Photo District News (PDN) published a piece about Bible Illuminated in last week’s issue. PDN talks specifically about the imagery selected, saying that the photographs “are the celebrity sizzle aimed at drawing readers to a modern-day, photo-packed version of the holy scriptures—a juiced-up text meant to be more contemporary, accessible and inviting.”
