At last the entire Bible has been converted into contemporary language by Eugene H. Peterson. The Message Bible was released earlier this summer and it reached me one week ago. I love The Message. I have been reading the New Testament and the Proverbs earlier and now I am reading Isaiah. Eugene H. Peterson has done an excellent job. He is a master with words, a real poet and he knows his God and the people he is living among.
Since English is only my third language and since I have never lived in an English speaking society, I come across expressions that are not easily understood, I must admit. However that only makes me keen to enlarge my knowledge of the English language!
I highly recommend The Message to everyone! Take a look at www.messagebible.com or www.christianbook.com
