What would happen if you received a letter from God? Would your heart pound? Would your mind race? Would your life change? With The Message, Eugene Peterson’s best-selling paraphrase of the Bible, you can join the millions of readers who have experienced God’s Word in the form of a personal message. Enthusiasm for The Message has boosted its popularity as the most reader-friendly Bible available today. Every book of Scripture unfolds like a page-turner you can’t put down! With no distracting verse numbers or stiff, formal language, passages you’ve read many times before will come alive, revealing the vibrant energy of God’s Word. "I hope that when readers find the poetry, the stories, the prayers, the songs in this Book in their language - the sort of language in which it was written - they will read it from cover to cover, nonstop," says Eugene Peterson. The challenge for the translators was to create a text that would make the same impact in the life of modern readers that the original text had for the original readers. In the New Living Translation, this is accomplished by translating entire thoughts (rather than just words) into natural, everyday English. The end result is a translation that is easy to read and understand and that accurately communicates the meaning of the original text. For more information please visit http://www.navpress.com/
