"This paraphrase of the Bible is arranged to pair a reading from the New Testament w/a section from the Old Testament. Each section is followed by some reflective questions. At times the sections go together, at other times they don't. The chapters do no necessarily follow the sequential order of the "regular" Message by Peterson or the regular order of the books of the Bible. I have been able to finally read the Bible through this translation, to think about what I am reading, and to relate what I am reading to my life and to current society. In addition, the pairings of Old and New Testament enable me, as a modern-day Christian who has often been impressed by people who throw out quotes from the Bible, to see where those quotes are taken out of context or where laws (such as those related to food restrictions) were later rescinded by Jesus. This version is set up so a reader following the plan can finish the Bible in a year, two years, or four years. I began in late January. It is now mid-July and I have read from day 1 through day 298. I anticipate completing the Bible within the next month. The modern language and the paraphrase made it possible. I have missed some of the well known verses (and the verse markings), but I have my standard Bibles for that."
"This is the version that I read most often in my through-the-Bible-in-a-year reading plan. Some might call it devotional reading but I read the Bible so that I know how God has interacted with people in real-time ( I hope I used that term correctly)."
"I love this. I love that the mustard seed parable is given in terms of a pine nut. After all, who in the last several hundred years really understood the size of a mustard seed?"
"Excellent, contemporary, version of the Bible. Some may argue that it is taken out of context, but in my belief it simply a layman's language of comprehension."
