In 2015, Katie Guiliano had an idea. She took her old, dilapidated Bible and made it beautiful once again by rebinding it and painting the cover. She wanted to exterior of the Bible to reflect the joy and beauty of the inside, and this project birthed a ministry. Her passion was to create beautiful Bibles that excite and inspire people to actually open up their Bibles and study them with fresh eyes and new hearts.
So, in 2015, she started a company called Hosanna Revival. What began as an Etsy shop grew into its own online site which has now grown into a vibrant movement and community. In 2016, Katie and her team moved beyond just hand-painted Bibles to working with manufactures to create cloth bound Bibles with beautiful printed covers. They have now grown to selling not only Bibles but journals, planners, stickers, devotionals and so much more. Even so, every product remained steeped with strong Biblical messages and missions.
Hosanna Revival is exemplary in their quality of beautiful, intentional products. While there are similar products on the market, Hosanna Revival has succeeded in being the best at offering affordable, easily attainable yet stunning Bibles. They are driven by the desire to be vessels for revival and the work they have done to engage and foster community is truly inspiring. Their business model is interesting because they are ever pursuing the need to inspire and equip Believers in new ways. Their mission is to recognize and heal more brokenness with beauty and opportunity through their products and community. Because of this, their ministry is set apart by its simplicity. They’re simply trying to connect people to the Bible in new ways and excite them about the Bible through different avenues. They’re not creating religious “self-help” books or unnecessary merchandise. Rather, they’re simply all about casting beautiful truth in renewed, beautiful light.
