 Rating:  - Not a Bible!A friend gave me a copy of this book a few years ago and I started to read it. It did not take long to see that this book fails on so many levels. Firstly and most importantly, It is NOT a Bible translation. It is the opinion of Eugene Peterson of what the Bible means. So from the start you are dealing with a highly subjective work. Which in effect plays right into the hands of those who say "you can't trust the Bible - its been translated so many times that the real message is lost". Which is exactly what has happened here, ironically, with The Message. My advise to anyone thinking of getting this book is to seriously consider WHY you are buying it. If you want to study the Bible then get a modern (accurate) translation - the NKJ or NASB are excellent. If you are just looking for an "easy reader" then the NIV is pretty good. This book is first on the bible lists here on Amazon! How this is even in the "Bible" section I will never know. Steer clear! Rating:  - God talking in everyday language you'll understand!amazing version of the bible which totally updates and makes clear parts of the bible which are hard to understand. Brilliant intro to the bible!! God bless xx Rating: - readable, a must read.Having read earlierl translations before, this is writen in a refreshingly easy and accesable way. There are no "thee"s or "thow"s the language is modern without being "slang or street." The power of the "word" is retained and this "translation should be added to the list of books to read before you....if you were afraid of buying or receiving a bible try this one. A small, two collum edition is available which is hand-bag bumbag sized.easy to dip into. (I keep one in the car.)  Try searching the Internet for "The Message Bible [International Paperback]" or Ebay for "The Message Bible [International Paperback]". You might also be interested in the following great products:
