I love this book. I have the complete book but wanted one in soft cover and not too heavy. I think it is great to split the book up between the Old and the New testaments with parts of the old added in. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to read the bible but just has a hard time comprehending it. It is written in contemporary language that anyone can understand.
This is a modern language retelling of the new testament. It's a lot easier to understand although verses are not noted like in a standard Bible. I still feel like I need a standard version nearby to refer to because sometimes I don't always feel The Message gives the interpretation that I might draw from the actual text.
Easy to read easy to carry and very understandable Sure if you want to do studies you may prefer the NIV or KJV but this is great for really just taking time to enjoy the Word and relax I bought this for my son in Iraq and know he will make good use of it.
