Are there more stars? Max them out!!!

Loved it. Easy to understand, read, and listen. Enjoyed the different speakers. Thanks for writing this "reader's" version of the Bible.

Cheesy but good.

As an Irish listener, I find the Americanisms in this are at times so foreign that it almost makes the text *more* difficult to understand - however on the odd occasion they're just perfect; I mean, who else would come out with a phrase like 'beat it, Satan!'? Overall a fun paraphrase and one that's easily listened to.

This is the book !

Where does The Message/Remix rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Jesus would teach in parables. This man has a gift. The bible just flows from this book. I like to read to my students from the King James and then re-read the same passages from The Message. Sometimes vice versa.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jesus. He came to save us in this world and the next.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended !

three cheers!

It always surprises me to see criticisms of an attempt to make the Word more accessible to the masses. It is too reminiscent of the Church keeping the scriptures in Latin for over a thousand years. I say Bravo to Eugene Peterson for this translation of the New Testament into modern English idiom. Every time I read a different translation I see things in a way I never did before.

Listen to the LORD daily

Connect with the Lord; as an Audible customer, I am not the world’s greatest reader. I have always wanted to read the Bible, but it just didn’t happen….. until now. The Message is a real blessing. I keep at least one part on my player at all times. I can read/listen to a little of the Word any time I want……in modern ‘story’ format. A perfect format for me. ENJOY!!

The Bible, it’s a pretty good book!

I have been reading/listening to the message for several years now, and it definitely speaks to me.

Reader not for me.

I did not get far in the reading of this translation. I was listening to one of the gospels. The reader seemed to make Jesus always sound angry. That is not how I view Jesus.
