found via Camp who says: I have never asked this of anyone on this blog before, but the time has come to act and act we must. Would you be willing to contact Thomas Nelson Publishers by email or phone and voice your disgust over this latest trend in dumbing down the Scriptures? Just click here or call 1.800.251.4000 and ask for the department responsible for the BibleZine product line... and then begin to minister to them! Be polite; be direct; be biblical; and be faithful.

heh, so it's progressed to the entire NT for men now, too. You've seen the other biblezines out there, haven't you? Oy, now there's what I'd call a slippery slope! And it reminds me of a certain thesis I should be working on.
So, how come we don't see NT Biblezines for: -single mom's -meth users -shut-ins -death row convicts oh, yeah... that's right. No money in it. When did the Bible become the beautiful people's handbook? I'm gonna go hurl now.
For a while I was afraid they were going to do a swimsuit issue.
Thank you for writing about Thomas Nelson. I work at Nelson and am trying to get started as a blogger to help our company get better at listening. I have a few follow-up questions on my blog. Please feel free to add a comment or post a reply. I would love to here from you.
Hey Luke ( Love the cool retro/scripto handle dude!) I haven't been this jacked up over the face of modern Christian expression since Snoop Dogg started wearing diamond encrusted cruci....cross things, over his "Pimp Daddy" apparell. Just want to flash a few "big pic" ideas for later issues by you. How about a "Yo! What's crackalackalin in Bethlehem tonight" issue or maybe a Delilah tells all confessional, "Who was really hotter Samson or uh..uh...that other really "sweet" Jewish guy. For the geeks, maybe a "Who was/is the most shameless self promoter in Christian culture quiz. We could give em choices like King Herod, Brian McLaren, Job, Bono, Caphais and Rick Warren. They could rank em and we'd be able to sell em another addition if they wanted to see the results. And how about this for a post holiday record breaker. "Are miracles all about the right diet! We think so!!...say fridge full of fish...say cupboard full of bread...if the folks get real good at it why they'll probably never have to shop for food again!!! (I'm pretty sure scripto says this, uh...somewhere...) .............................................................Okay seriously,Luke furgive me comeuppance but did you and yur mates awe fall on yur "heeds" as wee lads? Once only, or several times? Crankus "constipation is ma friend" McKiltus
