Product Description
Synopsis
It's Gods Word - the Truth - in a user-friendly form for students. God's Word was meant to be read and understood. It was first written in the language of the people - of fishermen, shopkeepers, and carpenters. "The Message" gets back to that feel. Plus, there are new verse-numbered paragraphs that will make it easier to study and find favorite passages.

The word will come alive.,
This review is from: The Message: Remix - The Bible in Contemporary Language (Think) (Hardcover)
I cant remember exactly how i got a copy of the message into my hands - but i cant express the life it has brought to the scriptures for me. I used to feel bad that unlike many of my christian friends i never really enjoyed reading scripture that much, found it dry, repetitive and the language quite dull. But the message on the other hand has been hard to put down. This is the only translation I ve ever read which for me brings Gods words to me as if it is Gods word - alive and aloud. I have always believed strongly in the presence of God in our lives and how he talks to us in manifold ways and if we listen and be still we will hear him - the message has made his voice in my head ring out with the words on the page. I now see the scriptures as Gods word cos it speaks my language. Ive heard it said that its not eloquent or beautiful or lofty language, ive heard some say it borders on disrespectful - try it yourself - eugene patterson has done justice and gives glory to God in this translation. I cant recommend it enough.

It is excellent. It has really encouraged me to read The Bible and gain a far better understanding of the nature of God.

Good Read,
By Terry "T K" (U K) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Message: Remix - The Bible in Contemporary Language (Think) (Hardcover)
I have only acquired this Bible recently, it was recomended by my missionary girlfriend, who found it very helpful. Her comment was, 'do read it, but also read the authorised version of the Bible, like NIV'. Like all the Bibles I have brought, initially, I would read the Genesis chapter 1 and John chapter 1 to see what it is like. My immediate feeling was, 'it is easy reading yet accurate'. Later on, I read the preface and found that the author was giving the same comment!
I understand the views of the puritans, as I am, strictly speaking, is a puritan. I still use the KJV for my Bible study, because I think it is the most faithful English version. However, the reason I use different Bibles it because, different translations give different interpretation and application. I have the amplified version which gives all the possibilities of translation, I have the Bible of my native language, I have the Hebrew and Greek Bible although I have never read them, I have the NIV, which I use for group Bible study, I have a Good News Bible, which is like a older version of the comtempary English. I have the Jerusalem Bible, which is a Catholic Bible, since the Catholic Church has the benefit of the original manuscript, this is more faithful than a all other Bibles. So, do read different versions of Bibles but also important is to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.
