 Does it really say that?-YEP it does October 19, 2003

I have been reading the Bible all my life, started with the KJV in first grade in 1974 and on with the Living Bible and the Good News and NIV and NASB and the Clear Word and the RSV and the SV and so forth, in all that I never really got Paul and if nothing else the Message gave me an understanding and appreciation for Paul that I am happy to have. It is a good read, very approachable. I often read a phrase and say to myself "I better check the NIV and see if it really says that, and every time its there, just the archaic language kept me from seeing it before.A side note to Tiaclare If you had done a in context quote of the Lord's prayer in the Message it reads just fine. Matthew 6:9 and onward says "Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what's best-as above, so below..." no implication of man's action only that of our Father.
It makes sense! February 25, 2006

Thank you Mr. Peterson for a Bible that I can finally understand. It's not that I am lazy, it's just that I sometimes find biblical passages hard to understand and need a little extra help with what the passage is trying to say. My sister actually bought this for me a few months ago and I've been steadily reading it in between my school work and other activities. My friends joke around with me and ask why I'm reading a Bible with contemporary language. They say something like "did you get to the part yet where Jesus checks his email?" or some other obnoxious phrase. They of course have no idea that as they are struggling through their bible verses, I'm crusing towards the finish line. If you find yourself in the same situation as I once did, pick this Bible up! I strongly recommend.

The Message Bible is such an awesome tool for making the bible come to life in modern language. It makes the bible apply to us today, which is what God designed it for. And in this lunch box, this bible is so much more cool!! The bible is food for our soul, so it is so appropriate that it comes in a lunch box. If you are looking for an awesome gift for a unique person, or just a bible that anyone can relate to, this message bible in a lunch box is the perfect gift!!
