Review: Good & very good. - Good. Very good . Print is on the small side
Review: Must have but not to replace other Bibles. - Recent Christian books quoted “The Message”. It is a modern language Bible. I have many versions, NIV, Good News, King James so I purchased The Message, it is very different, very thought provoking. It will never replace the NIV or Good News as the verses we know sound very different. John 3 16, “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. Verses 16-18 are grouped together, the above is just the first part. I would recommend that a copy is bought but I would not use it as my go to Bible. It is a good dip in and out Bible. In a fire would take my NIV and possibly my Good News, but the Message is very readable. Aren’t we well blessed to have so many readily available Bibles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Bible in modern language
*by A***R on 2 November 2022*

We were discussing different versions of the Bible and this was recommended by our vicar. It is very different from "Traditional" versions and easy to read, but in no way does it replace other versions used in church
