This version is so far off course it isn’t even funny. May God have mercy in the poor lost souls whose endeavor was mislead and will lead many to paths of deception and untruth. Avoid this version like the plague and buy the trusted Word for Word translation from the original tongues the King James Bible.

THE MESSAGE BIBLE by Eugene H. Peterson is just what I hoped it would be. Reading the Bible is a daily priority and great joy to me. For anyone who has not read it straight through for themselves- it is a very worthwhile investment of time and energy. The Bible is full of relevant/current science, history, linguistic and practical advice and wisdom for everyday living.I normally read the King James translation of this valuable resource- which is great for depth of my own understanding- but is difficult to share with other people. I was looking for a translation that I could quote as a quick encouragement or detailed explanation of doctrine. THE MESSAGE is very useful for both. Here is a quick comparison of KJV John 3:16-"For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosovever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." MESSAGE BIBLE: John 3:16-17"This is how much God loved the world:He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why:so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have whole and lasting life. God dodn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger,telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. I am pleased with the quality of this "contemporary rendering" of this timeless treasure. It is a fun edition to share with others.Read full review

I am only partly thru the Bible in contemporary English but it is easier reading than original. Well worth the effort and small expense.
