Without Hesitation...
This translation rejuvinated my desire to just "read the Bible" rather than read because I need to prepare a study or sermon. And this format, slightly padded hard cover, is the better format of the ones I've tried for this particular translation. In fact, it's the only one I recommend to other readers for this translation. I use this book every day to "read the Bible rather than study from it." Even though I have an advanced degree in Biblicalstudies, this translation provides a fresh and exciting perspective--it's a joy to read! Thanks for this opportunity to share.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This copy was not a good purchase.
The listing said "good" condition, though it should not have even been listed for sale. It looked like it had coffee spilled all through the pages, which are now misshapen and won't lay flat. Had I known the real condition of this copy of The Message, I would NOT have purchased it for any amount (I paid $7.99). I love The Message version of the Bible, just NOT this particular copy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Classic version of The Message bible
The Personal Size version of The Message Numbered Edition was their best-designed line of bibles, IMO. From genuine & bonded leather to several faux Leather-Look bindings these bibles were elegant and handsome in their presentation, comfortable in the hand, and the perfect size (8-1/4" x 5-1/2" x 1-1/4”) for portable reading. Highlights in the selection of bindings included: limp black genuine leather with pewter stamping and silver gilt edges, smooth burgundy bonded leather with gold gilt, and the unique and wonderfully soft faux 'distressed leather'.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Message is the real thing
My Men's bible group is mostly first timers and guys who don't read much. This is not the study Bible for the advanced theology student. It is for written for the person who does not "get" the NIV or King James. Direct and to the point, the Message points to the truth of His love and care for us all and is faithful to original text.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Love the book, even more helpful being able to identify passages with scripture with the help of the numbering.

Excellent companion to the KJV!
You can't understand the Bible unless you read it. The Message is a modern day translation of our Bible. This approach makes for new interest in familiar stories.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Easy to understand interpretation of the Bible
The author/translator/interpreter has done a masterful work in putting the Holy Bible into modern day American English and that has helped me to get a better understanding of context and meaning as I read various books, chapters and verse. I will use this translation along with other translations as I study the Word.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
