It's hard to give a personal review of a Bible because reading the Bible is an intensley personal thing, but here's my experience:

I admit, I was skeptical about this translation but I kept picking it up out of curiosity at a friend's house and found that I had a hard time setting it down. I've read the NIV and the NAS straight through over the years but it felt more like a duty than for pleasure. With the Message, I find myself reading the Bible for pleasure for the first time since right after becoming a Christian.

I recomend it to anyone wishing to see scripture from a new perspective. I just reads so well!

1st and 2nd Kings read like novels. The Gospels are so REAL it's creepy. And the Psalms feel like poetry that FLOWS instead of the disjointed feeling I had before in other translations. I don't know how else to put it, but now that I own my own copy, I can't put it down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful little Bible, May 4, 2007

The two-tone {blue/black}leather cover is beautiful. If one needs/wants a small sized Bible, this reflects a well thought out compromise.

The off-white paper is easy on the eyes, and seems to make the 'bleed-through' more tolerable.

The font size is small - but when coupled with the dark print and off-white paper, it's acceptable.

I do wish for thicker {or less transparent paper} - but I certainly have no buyer's regrets. I recommend it.

It is a really nice bible for the price. It doesn't have religious look with gold pages. It also have life time warranty on its binding and cover by just mailing it back to company.
