“When The Message came out, I heard some controversial things about it, so I'm glad The Story of the Voice addresses this. This book is a great way to make a more informed decision about whether The Voice is the right translation for you.” – Learning Table, review on Amazon.com
“Even if you do not read the translation the Voice, you can still learn a lot about the translation of the Bible and how it works.” – Kallie, review on Amazon.com
