The Message Personal Size New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs is the contemporary translation of choice.

#Handy and easier to use (2008-11-11) I really like this little reference. The size is just right and the text is large enough to be easy to read without squinting. Having the New testament, Psalms and Proverbs together in one small portable reference is especially useful. I enjoy the freshness of the Message. It gives one another angle to view scripture and often gives surprising insight into difficult passages. Finally, I really enjoy the insight the book introductions provide as they are so right on. Well done NavPress, well done!
#The Message by Eugene Peterson(the Bible in Contemporary language) (2008-10-11) For the first time I could understand pretty much every line and verse I come across in Eugene Peterson s Bible in contemporary language. The paraphrasing really made an huge difference to help clarify things for me!
#The Message Bible, numbered edition (2008-10-06) I received the Message Bible in a timely fashion and it was as described. It s a great paraphrase of the bible and very readible and understandable.
#The Message: The Bible In Comtemporary Language, Large Print Numbered Edition (2008-10-05) I Love this Bible. Anyone that has trouble understanding the King James Version will enjoy reading it. It is plain spoken and easy to understand. I use the New King James version as my main source and read this along side of it.
#Very awesome commentary (2008-09-08) I got this Bible because I really needed to get jazzed up about reading the Word again. This is exactly what I needed at the time. This is NOT the Bible, but a paraphrase - understand that. It is not meant to be used as the Bible, but a tool for inspiration and study, kind of like a commentary. I find it very helpful and useful as such. Sometimes the language is hit or miss. When it is good it is good, and I can really savor God s love even more in those verses. At worst, it takes scripture out of context or misinterprets it, and while that i...

Take the life-changing words of The Message wherever you go in this convenient pocket-sized edition.

#this version of The Message is disappointing (2008-10-18) This version of The Message (and it s not about the message) is that the print is so very small that even young eyes cannot read it. It s small and compact. . . so if you d like to use it for travel, that would be good. But, if you re intending to use this in a more public setting and for study the print size is a handicap. Unfortunately, that was my plan and had ordered (and planned to order more) multiple copies which I had to return.
#The Message (2008-10-03) I was dissappointed with the size of the Bibles. Maybe I had missed that in the ad. All else was fine.
#The Message Bible (2008-09-30) The Bible itself is wonderful. The only problem is that the print is REALLY small.
#Smaller in Size Than Anticipated (2008-09-19) The Message Bible is really great, however, I was a little disappointed that it was so small. I don t remember when I ordered that it mentioned the size of the Bible and when I received it, I was very surprised with the small size. I could not read the small print without reading glasses (I do not require prescription glasses) and it s still hard to read. I will enjoy the content of The Message, but will have difficulty because it is so small. I caution others who are ordering to make sure that it is not the extra small size that I...
#The Message (2008-07-18) This book is an excellent contemporary version of the Bible. The language helps to better understand the meaning of the text. The print is really small, I wish I had purchased a larger version.

The Message//REMIX is The Message Bible with book introductions written specifically for today s young people in today s language.

#All English Translations Are Paraphrases, So Pick One You LIKE. (2008-09-11) Watch Video Here: http://www. amazon. com/review/R15JTNEWCXQIV8 My review of the Message paraphrase. It s well done, regular modern day English, and written for someone looking to be taught the word in straight English.
#The most beautiful, inspirational book EVER written. (2008-08-12) The Message, especially The Message Remix 2. 0, is incredible. It s simply the Bible in modern language. BUT there is so much more to this. It s poetic, it s well explained, and it s written in such a way that the context of the pages are easily comprehendable. Each book starts out with Eugene Peterson explaining the whole book, to put it in perfect context. So when you read the book, it makes complete sense! The Bible finally makes sense!!! Each chapter has this heading sentence that explains the main point of the ...
#Easy to read (2008-07-13) I got this Bible for my friend because he said he never read his Bible as it was too difficult to read. He tells me he finds this easy to read and IS actually reading it. The down side (to me) is that every verse is not numbered, so if you take it to church you might be trying to find the verse in between the numbered paragraphs. Overall a good purchase, I would recommend it.
#Excellent simple translation (2008-05-15) The Message is a great bible for new believers (even to offer as a gift), especially for those who want to see the big picture of the Bible. I wouldn t make this a primary study bible--it is a paraphrase.
#Everyone Must Own This (2008-03-29) From beginning to end, every word of this is valuable. This should be the only version or translation available. There is no more guessing at meanings or reading between the lines. This is the Bible in plain, modern English. I would recommend this to anyone regardless of religious views. Christians and non-christians alike will find this to be valuable beyond measure.

God’s Word was meant to be read. But more than that, it was meant to be understood. It was first written in the language of the people––of fishermen, shopkeepers, and carpenters. The Message Remix gets back to that: You can read it and understand it. In The Message Remix, there are new verse-numbered paragraphs that will help you study and find favorite passages. Or, you can just read it like a book and let the narrative speak to you. After all, it is God’s story, with its heroes and villains, conflicts and resolutions. Either way, it’s God’s Word––the Truth––in a user-friendly form.

#False Teaching (2008-10-15) This is NOT God s Word but a pathetic PARAPHRASE that waters down the gospel to appease men. I urge those who think this paraphrase is so great to hold it up to real scripture. This is just more humanistic attempts to redo God s Word. Stay away from these books. 2 Timothy 4:3,4 KJV or NASB!
#enlightning, but not reliable (2008-05-14) The message can be very enjoyable as it puts the Scriptures into comtemporary spoken language. Sometimes it speaks the Word of God in a way that is much easier to understand. Sometimes it departs from the original intention. I would recommend to never consider it a Study Bible. Read it second as a way to look for clarification. A good thought for thought translation which is easy to understand and more faithful to the original language is the New Century Version.
#Great plain language Bible (2008-02-26) I believe that the Bible can be very intimidating for a young person and that plain language Bibles are a great way to get acquainted with it. If you tend towards literalism then don t bother.
#Easy to read bible (2007-12-28) I love this bible. My priest recommended it to me and I don t regret it for a second. It s easy to read and understand and there are passages that I never got in a KJV bible that all the sudden click with this one. Only problem is that while they are numbered, it s by paragraph and sometimes you may need another bible to get a tidbit correct.
#The Bible you can understand (2007-12-23) This translation of the Bible has been incredibly useful to me. I bought it to read Job after hearing a wonderful sermon one Sunday. Now I bring it with me to church every time I go. The Message is an up-to-date version of the Bible, written to help the reader understand the many message given by Scripture. I have found it helpful in understanding sermons, in helping with my own Bible study, and in regular prayer. I highly recommend it!

Improved style, size, and added study features make The Message Personal Size the contemporary translation of choice.

#Product is NOT leather-bound! (2007-12-18) The description of this Bible said that it was leather-bound. It is actually a leather-look hardbound book. I returned it for that reason.
#The Message: THe Bible in Contemporary Language,Numbered Edition (2007-09-06) Great quality for the price. Have been looking for a supplemental message Bible, numbered edition, for the price it is great!
