The Message has quickly become the most beloved Scriptural paraphrase of our generation. Designed to capture the rhythm and flavor of original Greek manuscripts, this Bible has been meticulously translated into contemporary English expressions and idioms. If your quiet time has been lacking passionate application and excitement about the Word of God, The Message is for you!

This personal size edition contains updated features that have been requested by avid Message readers worldwide. Perhaps the most significant update is the exclusively designed verse numbering system – while the original paraphrase was printed without verse numbers in order to mimic the conversational nature of original Greek texts, this new numbering system now allows for greater ease of use and reference. Other changes include detailed maps, handcrafted charts, new smaller size and much more!
