Product Description
Gods Word was meant to be read. But more than that, it was meant to be understood. It was first written in the language of the peopleof fishermen, shopkeepers, and carpenters. The Message Remix gets back to that: You can read it and understand it. In The Message Remix, there are new verse-numbered paragraphs that will help you study and find favorite passages. Or, you can just read it like a book and let the narrative speak to you. After all, it is Gods story, with its heroes and villains, conflicts and resolutions. Either way, its Gods Wordthe Truthin a user-friendly form.

 enlightning, but not reliable May 14, 2008
The message can be very enjoyable as it puts the Scriptures into comtemporary spoken language. Sometimes it speaks the Word of God in a way that is much easier to understand. Sometimes it departs from the original intention.
I would recommend to never consider it a Study Bible. Read it second as a way to look for clarification.
A good thought for thought translation which is easy to understand and more faithful to the original language is the New Century Version.
Great plain language Bible February 26, 2008

I believe that the Bible can be very intimidating for a young person and that plain language Bibles are a great way to get acquainted with it. If you tend towards literalism then don't bother.
 Easy to read bible December 28, 2007

I love this bible. My priest recommended it to me and I don't regret it for a second. It's easy to read and understand and there are passages that I never got in a KJV bible that all the sudden click with this one. Only problem is that while they are numbered, it's by paragraph and sometimes you may need another bible to get a tidbit correct.
The Bible you can understand December 23, 2007

This translation of the Bible has been incredibly useful to me. I bought it to read Job after hearing a wonderful sermon one Sunday. Now I bring it with me to church every time I go. The Message is an up-to-date version of the Bible, written to help the reader understand the many message given by Scripture. I have found it helpful in understanding sermons, in helping with my own Bible study, and in regular prayer. I highly recommend it!
A must have for those who love the Bible November 10, 2007
The Message puts a todays spin on the Bible. The Message is a good verion for Teenagers and those young at heart.
