Summary: Refreshing and accurate
Comment: I have been a christian my whole life, I am a seminary graduate with a masters in theology and I am sick of reading the bible! At least until I got the message. Reading it is a joy, the language is fresh and it reads like a novel.
If you want to study the bible get another version or some commentaries - that is not what The Message is intended for. But if you want to read the bible and enjoy it, book by book, in language as good as any best-selling novel, than The Message is for you.
By the way I have found the text of The Message to be surprisingly true to the original text. The author apparently ignored the way that english translations have always translated the bible and went directly back to the original. There are several instances where the NIV, NASB and KJV make changes to the text which are not true to the original - but each of these mistakes is not found in The Message. In every instance of contraversial passages I have found The Message to be better than most other translations.
I am impressed, and its been a very long time since I was impressed with a translation of the Bible. Enjoy!

Summary: Thank you, Lord, for The Message
Comment: For 35 years, as a Christian, I have soaked in, and absorbed The Word of God from King James to New American, so, I guess one could say I have a loving knowledge of "The Bible". This said, I recommend to anyone, the content of The Message. Personally, I don't care if this be the only translation that anyone ever picks up. If the Spirit of God uses it to convey one bit of Truth to your soul and spirit, then, hallelujah! Receive it and keep going. God has used it so often in my personal quiet time, to clarify and shed new Light on the Truth of a long-loved passage, that I can only express joy that it has come to us in these days that can otherwise look so dark. Read The Message. In my opinion, it's The Word.

Summary: Refreshing, surprisingly accurate & revives tired verses...
Comment: If you've been in church for more than a year, it's likely you've already heard certain verses over and over and over. There's more to God's Word than John 3:16!!! This well done paraphrase (from the original languages) helps you tackle the whole of the Bible. In addition, those overdone verses are given new life! Here's John 3:16 in the Message Remix:
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed, by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life."
or John 1:1 "The Word was first, the Word present to God, God present to the Word. The Word was God, in readiness for God from day one."
Amazingly enough, passages such as John 6 53-58 are virtually unchanged from NIV or like translations. Here is John 6 :53-58
"But Jesus didn't give an inch. "Only insofar as you eat and drink flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of the Son of Man, do you have life within you. The one who brings a hearty appetite to this eating and drinking has eternal life and will be fit and ready for the Final Day. My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. By eating my flesh and drinking my blood you enter into me and I into you. "
When Mr. Patterson gets it right-it's downright beautiful!
As for the craftsmanship of the Bible, I have the hardbound version. The pages are thick enough that print does not bleed through. Print is a decent size. Also, this Remix has the chapter verse for easy to find convenience. The Bible appears to be well put together, sewn pages-not "glued in". Lastly, the size is easy to carry-a big improvement over the original message. This is about 5 x 7 and about 3" thick.
