I like the numbered addition. It is easier to find when the pastor is using a different translation. The print is also easy to read, don't have to squint.

Very easy reading. It's a great bible for everyday language. I don't like the set up for the chapter and verse. I would not use this bible alone as a study bible.

In my daily studies I find The Message indispensable. To make a point in my sermon preparation, The Message is amazingly suitable. I quote the Word much better than before.

I gave this Bible to my Pastor as a Christmas gift. She really loved it because she wanted one as a reference.

While I've only just started reading, I find it very interesting and it is providing a whole new slant on the often confusing stories of the old testament. I may not completely agree with every interpretation, but I do enjoy reading another's view.

Let the Word speak to you in a new way - The Message is easy to understand, beautifully written, and opens up familiar Scripture to help us feel its mighty Power afresh. If your current translation seems stale or not offering you new insights into God's Word and Will for your life, I would highly recommend purchasing The Message.
