This was certainly worth a #Bible read through to see a different interpretation. I enjoyed many of the passages that used obvious contemporary language. I be still definitely be using this again to help clarify other translations. If you have found reading the Bible challenging, this may be a good reference for you.

MayJasper I use for personal bible study. It has certainly made the Bible more accessible for me especially the Psalms. 6y

If I could take more than one I'm sure I'd come up with others, but I can't seem to pick and choose. It's like saying I'd take this kid of mine over that one. Nope, I won't do it. 😄So, for the purpose of this prompt I'll choose just this one #BookIWouldTakeToADesertedIsland. 📖

LauraBeth I have a Message parallel version too and love it 7y
monkeygirlsmama @LauraBeth I actually don't have this one, but want to get it. I have The Message on its own, and I have a NKJV also. I enjoy flipping from one to the other sometimes, that's why I thought this version might be good. Glad to know it is! 🙂 7y
LauraBeth I have the NIV/Message parallel 😀 7y
underthebelljar I forgot they made these parallel editions! I'm going to have to look into the NIV/Message bible. 7y

After a suggestion from a friend, I am reading one chapter of #Proverbs every day. It contains unbelievable #wisdom for every day life. In reading the Bible for the first time straight through and am finding The Message accessible and readable. Every day though, I'm keeping the wisdom of Proverbs close at hand. #Christian #Bible #God

josie281 I enjoy using The Message for reading but my NASV for studying 8y
