Clear, easy to follow the format of this bible. While not meant to replace my "regular" bible, Pause allows me to do these things:
-Read the daily passages like I'm reading a novel
-Ponder the questions at the end of the readings/ end of the week...
that compels me to re-read some passages, think about the meaning of the passage and how that applies to my life. Also makes me want to go back to my "regular" bible to check-out the passage... it makes me want to read the bible more!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Study Bible, August 27, 2006

This review is from: The Message//REMIX Pause: A Daily Reading Bible (Paperback)

THE MESSAGE: REMIX//PAUSE is amazingly easy to read, but you can still get the meaning from every verse. Peterson and Tabb have done a great job translating the Bible into contemporary language, and the result is something that I (as a teenager) actually look forward to reading. One of many cool features are marked-out sections to read if you're looking to go through it in one, two, or even four years. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh approach- a great buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh and engaging, March 5, 2007

This review is from: The Message//REMIX Pause: A Daily Reading Bible (Paperback)

I love this Bible! Other daily Bibles bogged me down, whether they went straight through or combined an old and new. I love the flexibility of this, and the fact that I don't have to start at January 1 and never miss a single day. I have read the Bible all the way through before, but reading it in The Message translation and with the pairings arranged by Mark Tabb, it has new life! Below someone mentioned that it is not a good study Bible, but that's because it's not a study Bible; rather, it is designed as a daily reading Bible. I recommend this especially for high school and college students or anyone wanting a fresh look at Scripture.
