Overview
Take The Message where you go in this convenient pocket-sized edition of the New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs.
THE NEW TESTAMENT WITH PSALMS AND PROVERBS LIKE YOU?VE NEVER READ IT BEFORE.
It is commonly assumed that a book dealing with a holy God should sound elevated, stately, and ceremonial. If this is how you?ve always viewed the Bible, you?re about to make a surprising discovery.
One of the most striking features of the Bible is that it was written in the street language of the day?the idiom of the playground and marketplace, not the formal, lofty language of government decrees and historical documents. Written in the rhythms and idiom of contemporary language?the way you?d talk with friends, write a letter, or discuss politics?The Message New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs brings out the expressive, earthy flavor of the original biblical text. Which means that, whether you?ve been reading the Bible for years or are exploring it for the first time, The Message will startle and surprise you. And it will allow you to experience firsthand the same relevance and directness that motivated its original readers to change the course of history many centuries ago.

 | The Message Dec 13, 2008 |
| This is an excellent way to get a clearer understanding of scripture while still staying true to God's word. Good book to buy as a gift also. | | |  | Great King James Backup Dec 1, 2008 |
| As a reader of the King James I sometimes find it hard to really understand the scripture; by going to the Message Bible I can read the scriptures in todays language that gives me a clearer picture of what the scripture means. One of the many good backups to the King James. I among many wish the print was a little larger. | | | | I Prefer the non numbered version, but still great!!!!! Dec 1, 2008 |
The Message: The Bible In Contemporary Language, Large Print Numbered Edition
I love "The Message Bible" I do prefer the original none numbered version, because it showed that it wasn't made as a study Bible.
The Message Bible Version is Great, enjoyably, and educational. but not Really made as a study bible. But instead is written in such a way that it draws great word pictures, it was made for explaining the bible in a more fun and leisurely way, like enjoying the word of God in say, a Park setting, or on the beach and the like. the translation though does not go "off" on the meaning of the Bible. Defiantly one of my favorite versions, but for a study or apologetic version I would recommend the "New King James", "NIV" or the "Authorized King James" Versions.... The message is absolutely wonderful....
Blessings to you all,
Mike Orton

I ordered this for a friend who wants to understand the Bible and already has the King James version. She loves it!!
The Message numbered edition gives the scriptures with the numbers so you can compare with other translations if you want to. Such as John 3:16... so you can look the same passage up in any other version and get a different perspective.
After studying the bible for many years, I actually love it myself because it has much more modern language and easier to understand without losing the real meaning. I read a few scriptures from the Message at a recent bible study and we were all amazed at how it made it much more modern for us in this day.
Get the numbered edition (earlier Message version read like a book, with chapters.(without scriptures numbered)
Highly recommend this edition and am going to order myself the same one now for studying the Bible. At this price- what do you have to lose? Think you will love it. | | | | Handy and easier to use Nov 11, 2008 |
I really like this little reference. The size is just right and the text is large enough to be easy to read without squinting. Having the New testament, Psalms and Proverbs together in one small portable reference is especially useful.
I enjoy the freshness of the Message. It gives one another angle to view scripture and often gives surprising insight into difficult passages. Finally, I really enjoy the insight the book introductions provide as they are so right on. Well done NavPress, well done! | | | Write your own review about Message New Testament Pocket Edition
