I've had the Message in the regular print version for years, but thanks to the ravages of age, I can no longer read it. I love the wording in the Message, Despite the fact that my dad was a minister so that I learned to love the Bible in the KJV, I appreciate the clarity of the Message. The only thing I would change is the hard cover. I'm severely disabled with spinal deformities that have lead to neuropathy due to pressure on spinal nerves. That makes it difficult for me to handle heavy hardback books. Otherwise, I love it!

This is everything I desired in my new Bible, including the larger print. My best friend has this Bible and I was impressed with it in every regard plus since quarantine for the Covid-19 Virus, I did not want to venture out to a store at that point in time. Shipping was timely. Would recommend. Price was comparable with Christian Store pricing.

I had an earlier edition of THE MESSAGE and loved the translation but was frustrated because the verses were not numbered. It was difficult to follow specific verses referenced. This new version is numbered and large print for easy reading. This book is one of my most prized possessions. If I were asked for one feature thing I don't like about this translation, I would have to say that page numbering in this edition is not as legible (font or size) as it was in the prior edition. Overall though, I do love it.
I used to read the NIV translation of the Bible until I read passages from the message translation and I'd recommend to anyone who wants a clear description of the Word

Makes the Bible so much easier to read and understand. Excellent for Bible Study as you can compare scripture in The Message to the actual scripture in the Bible. Content is the same as the Bible, it just makes it easier to understand. I especially love the large print, makes it easier on my eyes. I would highly recommend everyone having a copy of this book. It surely is a book everyone should read!
