I'm so glad that I read all the reviews and just trusted...I'm surely technologically challenged, but I figured out how to get this downloaded onto my PC and then onto my Ipod...the sound is great....it kept its chapters and is much more user friendly then when I tried to download my KJV from cds. Great price for an enduring treasure. The "narrator" reads a bit fast, but he has great inflection and honors THE MESSAGE. It's the best $10something you'll ever spend!

I have been listening to the Bible over and over and got to the point I wasn't paying attention. When I started listening to The Message it captured my attention again.

I like the Message, and the guy reading it is good. I do not like the music in the intro tracks. It's not terrible, but it is the SAME music on all 70ish introduction tracks. Don't let that turn you off of the product, though, it is excellent as a whole. The introductions themselves are very good in the Message, and the translation is great. (Since they're MP3 CDs, you likely be listening to them on an iPod or something. Just remove the Intro tracks if you don't like them.)
I also really like that the Bible is on 4 CDs instead of 40!
4 1/2 stars.
