A month after its release, The Message//REMIX: Solo [Pink Edition] is having a positive impact on those dealing with breast cancer. NavPress has received numerous accounts of how the devotional Bible is a source of hope not only for those facing breast cancer, but also for their families and friends. A recent report from the Munce Group drives this point home.

“The Munce Group and our new initiative ChristianContest.com had an enter-to-win contest featuring Solo [Pink Edition] in early October," explained Graham Munce. "One of the five winners was Kristie, who sent an email telling us how encouraged she was to be receiving Solo [Pink Edition].”

According to Munce, Kristie wrote: “Thank you so much. This is perfect timing as my aunt was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has already had surgery but has chemo yet to come. It will give both of us much needed guidance in this difficult time.”

“We're glad to hear how Solo [Pink Edition] is helping people at a time when they need support and God’s Word,” said Mike Miller, president of NavPress.

NavPress has developed a website to share people’s stories about dealing with cancer. Visitors to www.solopinkedition.com also can send ecards and view videos.

The Message REMIX//Solo [Pink Edition] by Eugene H. Peterson retails for $17.99. NavPress is donating a portion of the proceeds from every sale of the devotional Bible to breast cancer research.

Just three weeks after its second printing--and still more than 10 days out from its release date--The Message//REMIX: Solo [Pink Edition] has sold out and is going back to print for the third time.

"A portion from each sale of Solo [Pink Edition] will go toward finding a cure for breast cancer," said NavPress President Mike Miller. "To see such a great response in the marketplace even before it releases is wonderful. We are excited to see how this will positively impact the lives of those who have this terrible disease."

The white-and-pink devotional Bible releases Sept. 15 to coincide with October's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

NavPress has named Dave Dravecky’s Outreach of Hope ministry as a partner in the fight against breast cancer as part of a fall CBA channel-exclusive program only for Christian stores

Christian retailers can participate in The Message of Hope program in which customers who purchase a copy of The Message//REMIX Solo [Pink Edition] by Eugene H. Peterson are invited to sign bookplates to encourage cancer patients. The bookplates will be placed inside The Message of Hope booklets, which feature selected portions of The Message. Dravecky, a former MLB pitcher who survived career-ending bone cancer, will help distribute The Message of Hope to cancer patients and survivors.

“We are excited to be able to partner with NavPress in distributing The Message of Hope along with the handwritten notes on the bookplates to those suffering with serious illness,” he said. “We hope and pray the entire Message//REMIX Solo [Pink Edition] project will draw everyone it touches closer to the heart of God in the midst of their journey.”

NavPress, the publishing arm of the U.S.-based Navigators, has sold out of its first print run of The Message//REMIX: Solo [Pink Edition] and is headed back to press, one month before the devotional Bible’s scheduled street date.

To support research into finding a cure for breast cancer, NavPress is donating a portion of the proceeds from all sales of Solo [Pink Edition] to breast cancer research. The white-and-pink Bible by Eugene H. Peterson retails for $17.99 and releases Sept. 15 to coincide with October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“We are thrilled with this positive response to Solo [Pink Edition],” said NavPress President Mike Miller. “NavPress has been impacted in personal ways by breast cancer, so this cause is very important to us.”
