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of the day--the idiom of the playground and marketplace, not the formal, lofty language of government decrees and historical documents.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.

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.

    I've always said I couldn't get on with "The Message", but recently decided to give it another try, and bought this neat little paperback. And now I'm hooked. If you need a pocket-sized copy this is perfect, but I do miss having the verse numbering, so will be investing in one with those added. Meanwhile, I'm just feeling a bit sheepish that I resisted this version of Scripture for so long. The Proverbs are especially readable, and some of the well-known passages from the Gospels and Epistles take on a new life here. My only negative comment would be that the Psalms just don't quite work for me in this contemporary language. But they might for you!

    Although the print is quite small (as expected) it is very clear with bold black print on a crisp white background. As an older person I can read this. I love that it also includes psalms and proverbs Very pleased.

    Purchased this as a gift for someone who's searching. This book is tiny; however, the typeface is crystal clear. The recipient is delighted and, because the book's so small, they take it everywhere with them. The Message is a very accessible way into scripture for non-church people.
