    This review was written for The Message Bible: Large Print Edition.
    We find it easy to read and enjoy how it is written. At times it makes us laugh and that is a good thing. Sometimes it is a little hard to pick out an individual verse as they have grouped verses together. We are glad we purchased it.

    This review was written for The Message, Numbered Edition.
    I bought this as a Christmas present for my daughter. She likes the emails I send when I get blessed with a portion from The Message so she wants one of her own! And I like The Message when I get "hung up" on another translation; it simplifies it for me.

    This review was written for The Message Bible: Large Print Edition.
    I really like The Message. It is so clear and easy to understand. It gives new insight into passages that I have never understood before. I would advise others to use their KJV or NKJV, to compare with. But I can sit and read this book for a long time and get such comfort and inspiration from it. I love the KJV because its verses are so poetic and beautiful, and I would memorize the verses from it, but this version is so refreshing. Our church has reviewed it and accepted it as an addition, to be used with your other Bible. The only thing I don't like about this one is the hard cover and the size needed for large print. It's cumbersome to hold. I bought a smaller version with a soft cover and I can still see the smaller print so I will read it until I can no longer see it. I think this is also good for teens and young people that don't read the Bible because they can't understand it. I bought 3 soft cover New Testament books to give to some of my younger family members because I think they will probably at least give it a try. I feel like this text is inspired. I believe the author, a pastor, spent 10 years writing it, so it wasn't written out of greed, it was written out of love. He saw how the standard Bible was so hard for so many of his church to understand and so he wrote it in modern day language, for them. I love mine. This would have 5 stars if it wasn't for the bulky size, and that can't be avoided with the larger print.

    The text is the point of this bible, so it is exactly what is expected. It's a great translation. The pages are thicker, which is nice for a first time reader. It is a gift for my son who exclaimed "... I would read the bible if it were in a understandable translation.." We live in Germany and English is his second language. The only negative point is the maps and a concordance are missing, which would be for a more avid reader. This is still a great buy!

    I have been curious for quite some time what the message Bible was like. I have found that it is written in a language form unlike any Bible I have. I have been comparing Scriptures between the message Bible and other versions that I have and I have found that for the most part the meaning of scripture is conveyed correctly. I try to use scripture and memorize certain sections of the Bible but I don't know if the message Bible will allow me to do that being I have a foundation and the other versions. I think I'll find out in the near future. I am impressed with the quality of this Bible with the leather cover and the beauty of the Scriptures it's nice to look at and feel. I do think it will be an asset in studying the Scriptures along side the other versions of the Bible I already have.
