Brilliant alive word of God
Superb rendering to bring to life the word of God. Creative writing that brings a nice touch of freshness.
Yes there are other literal transalations out there which are great such as the Amplified, NIV and are most useful for deep study of Gods word.
The message is meant to add undertanding to the word by using language that relates to us today.Welldone for creating such a work.

Can not know what you are buying.
I dislike the Bibles. You cannot know what you are buying without getting it in a store where you can look at it. There are too many different variations and it is impossible to identify which, for example, are full bibles and which are just New Testament or something else. The size and nature is also misleading and ill defined. What, for example, is meant by "personal size"? there are also different titles, Message, Conversations, New Testament Plus Psalms and Proverbs and so on. I gave up at Amazon and the publisher's web site is no better.

this is not the Word of God
The message is a joke! anyone who takes this book seriously or considers it the Word of God needs to examine themselves. http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/eugenepeterson-the-message.html visit this site and read the message side by side with the true Word of God the KJV. There will be no denying that the message is just a big garbled mess of compromisemixed with wordly lingo. The KJV 1611 was written to an 8th grade reading level so to say you have to be a scholar to read it laughable. Don't waste your time with this watered down garbage!

Fresh Insight
As a student of God's word for nearly 3 decades and a Children's Pastor, the Message is one of my favorite translations. It is probably not the translation of choice for more expository teaching because it is a paraphrase rather than a word for word translation. But the strength of this approach is that it often captures the tone, cultural relevance, or even humor more effectively than a word for word translation. It is fresh and rather non-religious which is very appealing to the post modern mind, but not at all lacking the accuracy or truth of other versions.
