The Message Remix: The Bible In Contemporary Language/Hypercolor Pink

There were some questions my husband and I have had in the past about this version of the bible based on some of the translation (let's go fishing boys instead of I will make you fishers of men), but when my 13yr old son came home from youth camp asking for the message remix, my husband thought it would be good to get him something he actually wanted to read. He still be hearing from our NASB versions and he'll be using an ESV at school and the ESV is what our pastor uses in his Sunday sermons and he'll have plenty of resources available to compare if he has any questions, so I decided to go ahead and get him this one. Since it arrived, he has been in the Word everyday without me telling him to be and he has already asked several questions and came to me with differences he has noticed. I think it was a good decision and he thinks the "cover is cool".

I love this bible! I was reading through the bible in my NASB version and got all the way to Deuteronomy 7! (A huge accomplishment for me). Then I received my Hot Pink Message bible and started reading from Deut 7. I loved it so much that I had to start reading all the way at the beginning of Genesis just because I knew that I would have missed out on so much. My husband is going to get him a Message bible and two of my friends are getting them a copy also.
It is so easy to read and understand. You can really hear the heart of the Father in our language!
I love it and it has actually made me so motivated to pick up my bible and read (for the first time)!
I would recommend this bible to anyone in all walks of life. This bible would bring the scriptures alive to the younger generation, but also for the older generation. I love it, I love it!

I really not enjoy this version but my girl friend does

thanks

The Message is perfect for "novel reading" of the Bible. Easy to understand, easy to follow. I use it as a reference for my studies.
My son's Sunday School teacher recommended it and I love it!

I am so glad I bought this Bible. It is easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to find my favorite passages. I love the cover, pink is my favorite color! If you want a non-threatening Bible, this is defiantly it!
