if only you could see it February 6, 2007 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
The Message is a very readable translation. Eugen Peterson does a good job of 'translating' the text. There is some personal interpretation, but that's ok if it causes one to read and dig deeper. I purchased this particular 'in a year' version for my mother in law. I have the standard book and it is quite readable. For reasons I do not know, the one year version was printed in teeny, tiny, almost need a microscope font. My mother in law cannot see it at all. I have 20/20 and must squint and focus to read it.
Bible in One Year February 2, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is good - and does have a lot of text to cover each day. I find that I like the fact that it mixes old and new testament writings, and ties the two together well. Of course it enriches my spiritual life so I have to say it is a great book.
The Daily Message is a Must! January 30, 2007 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
My husband and I are hooked on the Message Bible and I was happy to see it in this format for such a wonderful low price...in the bookstores they are expensive! I love that it's a "daily reading" and that it has Psalms as part of each reading (and other NT books further on I noticed). Our church is traditional with the KJV which I still love, but the Message brings God's word to life in a whole new way for our personal consumption and devotion time.
A different approach to daily bible reading January 11, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I make it a practice to read a different version of the bible every year. This version is written in every day language and easier to understand than some. Each day takes about 10-15 minutes and includes part of the Psalms with several reflective questions following the reading. I rated it a '4' because the print is small. If you are looking for an easy to read paraphrase, this is a good choice.
Great translation; really, really small print December 26, 2006 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I just received this for Christmas. I love the translation, but I want to caution people that the print is really, really small. I think it's 8 pt. So, now I'm wondering if I can actually read it, or if the eyestrain will be too much. Caveat emptor.
