Special Ministry edition in Paperback!

Fresh - Clear - Compelling - Relevant

Written for those who have never read the Bible or have lost interest in Scripture, The Message is the Bible written in the language of today. This special printing is in a double column format which is perfect for sharing with friends, placed in Sunday school or Youth rooms and church. A great take-along for mission trips.

Written in the rhythms and expressions of contemporary language - the way you'd talk with friends, write a letter, or discuss politics - The Message brings out the expressive, earthy flavor of the original biblical text. Whether you've been reading the Bible for years or are exploring it for the first time, The Message will startle and surprise you. And it will allow you to experience firsthand the same relevance and directness that motivated its original readers to change the course of history many centuries ago.
