Excellent Modern Rendition of The New Testament

During the summer of 2000, I was given this book by a Bible study leader just before I left for an inner city mission trip. I have a few different versions of the Bible. And while I love them all, this one is my favorite. It's written in what a lot of people call "street English,"... It's a good book for the average lay person to refer to when they're explaining things of their Christain faith to others. It's laid out in regular story form and is very easy to understand, too. I'd recommend it to anyone. To Eugene Peterson, nice job!!!

Change Your Life

"The Message draws you to embrace the truth of the New Testament in a way that it is applicable to your life right now! An easy read for new Christians and ideal for the youth, quite entertaining. Change your perspective of the Bible through reading this book, change your life! Great Gift, anytime!" - Angelina Musik, Christian recording artist.

The Yo-Dude version?

This is an enjoyable new read of the N.T. The young people in my congregation began calling it the "Yo-Dude" version of the Bible. Most importantly, they READ it, and enjoy it. Thank you, Eugene Petersen

You'll smile as you read it! A must for every home!

What a fresh, alive, delightful paraphrase of the New Testament! Wakes up some passages that might feel tired to those who have studied the Bible for many years. The perfect choice to introduce a young person to the Bible, or to add to a Bible reader's personal library. Author Eugene Peterson's phrasing and word choices are so fresh, so full of life and energy and love, that you'll find yourself smiling as you read it! Reviews have compared him to North America's answer to J.B. Phillips. I have purchased many copies for friends and even for my Pastor, as gifts.
