Christian men magazine Sorted hits magazine outlets across the UK

LITTLEHAMPTON, ENGLAND
(ANS) – As the UK’s only Christian magazine for men hit the shelves of 1500 magazine outlets across the country this week, Sorted editor Steve Legg is urging Christians to go out and buy a copy.

He added: “This is a real answer to prayer. I was approached by a secular magazine distributor to place 4,000 copies of each edition of the

magazine in the men’s lifestyle section of newsagents throughout the UK. For them to say they’re going to place it between Nuts and Loaded I almost fell off my seat.

“My heart has always been to reach men and for Sorted to be placed on the shop shelves in between Nuts and Loaded is a dream come true. So who knows who could pick it up, who might be looking for something a little bit different?”

Steve Legg, who’s been on the road for more than 21 years as a Gospel escape artist and illusionist, launched Sorted two years ago as a positive, wholesome alternative to men’s magazines like Nuts and Loaded. He says the immediate reaction was extremely positive even from one of the UK’s top national newspapers: “The Daily Telegraph loved it and called it ‘the lad’s mag with morals,’ and that’s stuck. It’s just been so exciting how that’s grown.”

Earlier this year overwhelming demand meant the magazine completely sold out, as 10,000 copies were ordered for Father’s day so an additional 3,000 were printed. Steve says as a result of this they’re also planning to sell copies for Father’s Day next year in one of Britain’s largest retailers WH Smith.”
