Our Mission
We exist to excite people about engaging in Scripture by creating beautiful and intentional tools for their lives.
The Authority of Scripture
We believe that the Bible, consisting of 66 books, is the only holy, inspired, trustworthy and true Word of God. We believe there is one God, the Creator of all things, infinitely holy and eternally existent in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Bible is without error, and is the only final authority in all matters of faith and practice. We believe that the true beauty of the Bible absolutely lies within its pages.
Our History
In 2015 while studying in Spain, our founder Katie had the idea to re-bind and paint her bilingual Bible. It was plain black — she wanted her Bible to be beautiful and personal, reflecting the way the words on the inside made her feel. Katie immediately saw the ministry that this could become. She spent the next few weeks trying out different materials and processes- creating what is now Hosanna Revival.
Truly, it was a simple concept: when you get a new planner, you’re excited to organize. When you get a new journal, you’re excited to fill it up. When you get a new traveling coffee mug, all of the sudden you take your coffee to-go. What if, a new and beautiful Bible would excite you to actually open it up and read it?
We are convinced that a beautiful Bible can lead even the darkest heart to crack it open and consider the words inside of it. We are convinced that a beautiful Bible can revive the heart of a believer gone astray by motivating them and reminding them of the truth beyond the cover. We are convinced that an active Christ follower will be drawn to the foot of the cross each morning by the scripture within their precious tool. Above all else, we are convinced that the words inside of this timeless book will revive our world.
Our Team
Katie Guiliano
Katie founded Hosanna Revival in 2015 after re-binding and painting a Bible. She was inspired by the vision of how a beautiful Bible could impact the heart of anyone who held it, leading them to know God through his Word. Now she spends her days designing new products, leading our marketing efforts, and of course, painting. Katie’s walk with Jesus began after her graduation from high school when her best friend invited her to a Young Life camp. It was there that she learned that strivings can cease, and Jesus’ sacrifice extended all the way to her. You can find Katie tending to her cut flower garden, petting her giant dog Frank, and dreaming about her next trip with her husband, Nick.
Nick Guiliano
Days before marrying Katie, Nick left the corporate world and joined the team on a mission to grow Hosanna Revival. He oversees production, finances, and operations with the primary goal of responsibly stewarding the resources God so graciously gives Hosanna Revival. His walk with the Lord started when he was a freshman in high school. A friend of his swooped in during a time of need, cared for him, and showed him the genuine love of Christ. Nick loves studying and teaching the Word of God, playing tennis, and riding bikes with his friends. He loves new food and proudly considers himself a corn dog enthusiast.
Ben Schutte
Ben likes to call himself the Sword Slinger at Hosanna Revival (see Ephesians 6:17). Ben joined the Hosanna team in May of 2020 as an intern. Now, as the Director of B2B Operations, Ben oversees Hosanna Revival's presence in retail locations across the globe and also works with Nick to ensure we're producing the right amount of product at the right time. Ben’s relationship with the Lord really took off when he arrived at the University of Cincinnati. It was there that he found a real, genuine Jesus-loving community to do life with. Ben is a planner and schedules just about his entire life. His goal? To be prepared for everything and surprised by nothing. Ben enjoys teaching others about the infinite depths of the Lord and is passionate about the local church. Off the clock, you'll either find Ben consuming (too much) caffeine, playing golf or tennis, or eating tacos with his beautiful wife, Lily.
Malory Smith
Malory is the Director of Publishing at Hosanna Revival. She lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with her husband, their son, and their dog—all three of whom she is totally obsessed with. Malory met the Lord her freshman year of high school when the weight of sin and the gift of grace were explained in a way that made sense for the first time. Over the years of following Christ, she has fallen in love with the Word of God and is passionate about creating space for women in all walks of faith to open the Bible and process its words together to build biblical literacy. On an average day, you can find her taking a long walk, raiding the public library for her next good read, or drinking iced coffee.

Growing up in a very creative Christian family, and the middle of 7 children, Charlotte was taught to engage in creativity and her faith at a very young age! While always knowing about God, her relationship with him was reignited at 18 during an internship at her local church. She is passionate about great coffee, more coffee, really good food, baking bread, trying to do too many creative projects at once, thrifting material for new sewing projects, keeping too many houseplants alive and hosting monthly community dinners at her house! She is most excited when people in her life say “YES!!” to living their lives wholeheartedly for Jesus!

She grew up knowing Jesus but hit a point in high school where she realized he needed to not just be Lord in general but Lord of her life. Since then, her goal has been to use creativity to share Jesus, and Hosanna Revival has been the perfect space for that dream to come true. In the wild, AnnaClaire can be found picnicking at a local park, sourcing food from local markets for her next foodie project, analyzing her friends’ seasonal color palettes, planning her next international trip, and unwinding at Ikea.

Her relationship with God began when, as a senior in high school, she realized that living to make much of herself left her absolutely empty. Through persistent friends and a multitude of prayer warriors around her, her heart opened up to the Truth, and she has been running with the Lord ever since! In her free time, you can find her outside with her pup, watching airplanes, spending time with loved ones, or line dancing!

He is looking forward to taking more naps this summer, and eating people food when he can find it. He loves going to the groomer because everyone tells him how handsome he is afterward. He can often be found in his hammock bed memorizing Scripture to tell his friends he meets at the dog park.
