ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 16, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Bauer Media Group USA, the No. 1 seller of retail magazines in the country announces the launch of a new monthly inspirational magazine, Simple Grace.
With the tagline "your daily dose of hope," the title will be the first nationally distributed magazine to combine a monthly magazine format with a Christian devotional one.
The 144- page digest-sized magazine will also include a media and entertainment guide and interviews with Christian celebrities, authors, artists, and influencers.
Simple Grace will debut on newsstands nationwide on Friday, April 10, distributing 200,000 copies nationwide, at a price of $3.99.
"After nearly two years in development, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Simple Grace," said Carol Brooks, Simple Grace editor-in-chief and 13 year Bauer veteran, who will also continue in her role as First for Women editor-in-chief. "When we asked our First for Women readers what was important in their lives, they overwhelmingly told us that their relationship with God is central for them," explains Brooks. "So we decided to create an inspirational magazine that's perfect for busy women: Simple Grace offers short devotional readings to start her day off right as well as real-life features that make perfect before-bed reads."
The first issue features an in depth sit-down with Grammy-winner Amy Grant sharing her heartache of caring for parents with dementia, the real life tale of Susan Mellen, an innocent woman convicted of a crime she didn't commit who found freedom through faith before being released, and a heartwarming story of how an ER nurse, Tricia Seaman, stepped in to adopt the 8-year-old son of a dying patient.
