Pacific Press Publishing in Nampa, Idaho, is launching a new magazine for Adventists 50 years and older called Renewed & Ready. It will be a 64-page monthly magazine designed to celebrate the best of mature Adventist living. Topics will include spiritual life, service, health, relationships, travel, finances, encouraging stories, humor, and more. The magazine will also highlight prominent Adventists and share their inspiring stories. Renewed & Ready is the first print magazine to be launched by the church in more than a decade.

“With the over-50 demographic making up a significant portion of our church membership, we felt it was time we launched a magazine that directly addressed their concerns and needs—that helped them with the particular issues they face, such as planning for retirement or raising grandchildren. We also wanted to launch a magazine celebrating the Adventist lifestyle. We feel Renewed & Ready is just the resource our church needs to support mature Adventists in living their life to the fullest,” says Dale Galusha, president of Pacific Press Publishing Association.

The premiere issue of Renewed & Ready, which is currently available at your local Adventist Book Center, features a guest editorial by Lake Union president, Walter L. Wright, and an article by Healthy Choices columnist and Andrews University professor, Winston J. Craig. Mark Bond, art director and designer of the Lake Union Herald, was hired as the art director and designer of Renewed & Ready. Bond will be working with Ginger Church, former editor of Kids Ministry Ideas, who was hired as the editor of Renewed & Ready.

Representatives of Pacific Press and the Adventist Book Center will hand out complimentary copies of the premiere issue at camp meetings throughout North America. Complimentary copies of the premiere issue of Renewed & Ready may also be obtained by contacting Nicole Batten at nicbat@pacificpress.com.
