I really like this bible. I bought it because I already had the first Message bible and wanted the remix because it has the scriptures numbered. This is a really good modern language bible. I really like the design of it also. It's a fun book to carry because of the design and it's a great alternative to the King James version bible. I use this bible for better understanding of the King James version. I don't recommend this bible for study reading. It contains no cross reference chain scriptures in it. It seems to be a good parallel bible. I recommend this bible for parents to read to their kids. It is a bible that can be easily understood by age levels from about age 8 and up. Overall I give this remix bible a great buy rating.
I have really tried to read and understand the Bible mostly the King James version. And the wording is difficult to follow. The Message uses common everyday language. And since the verse #'s are over to the side you can read it more like a book from cover to cover. You aren't distracted by which verse it is and what chapter you are in. This particular version is small enough to take with you anywhere, it will even fit in your purse. I think this would be a really nice Bible for teenagers too. It would be super easy for them to understand. This is more of a reading Bible not one that you would take to church to follow along with your pastor. Just because of the paraphrasing you would not be able to follow along word for word. I read this Bible at home and use it along with my other versions to study. I really love it!Read full review
I've spent the last 35 years reading through the Bible in one form or another. Reading charts. Study Bibles. One Year Bibles. Nothing compares to The Daily Message. It was complied by Eugene Peterson, a theologian and working pastor of forty years. It took him ten years to put together. Even in the information age, it will remain impactful for many, many years to come. It's the kind of language you hear on the radio, or on the television, or out in the community. It's fresh; vibrant; grabs your attention immediately. Even the novice reader is immediately impacted. It's broken into small passages so the reader doesn't become overwhelmed. Read the daily suggestions, or only parts of them. The important thing is to read. Just read. Read the most important conversation of your life. Read your conversation with GodRead full review
I actually looked at this book at a local Christian Bible and Book store. I like the book as soon as I saw it, but wasn't interested in paying the expensive store price. Why not look on Ebay? Sure enough, it was there. What I like the most about this book is that it is written in an everyday language. The Bible is a hard book to understand. This book puts the words in today's terms so that we can understand it easier. The only downfall I can find in the book is the small print. The Bible I have been using actually has large print, but I can sacrifice a smaller print to be able to understand Bible literature better. Highly recommended to anyone, because we all need God.
This is a great starter Bible for kids. It speaks in a language that anyone can understand. I am an adult and I started on the message because I could not understand the KJV very well. Now, I can read the KJV and refer to the message at the same time. I have 3 kids and the 2 oldest (11 & 7) read the message a lot more than they ever read their KJV. I hihgly recommend the message to everyone that is a beginner bible reader.
