No complaints. Easy reading. Easy to understand. Print is exactly as stated. Good to look at side by side with the King James Version of the Bible.

I am currently reading Proverbs with my 25 year old son in this version of the Bible. It makes the Proverbs sound almost "homespun." They make sense to us, whereas, we often have to wonder what was meant by some of the more archaic wording in the King James. While I use strictly the King James Version for study--especially of the prophecies, I love the way the author has made Bible truths become more clear by bringing the principles into language we can relate to today. It seems that Eugene Peterson has done a wonderful job of bringing the Bible into our contemporary speech. I think my son enjoys the readings, even though he usually claims to be an avowed atheist.

I have purchased the message as gifts to young people who don't really read the Bible. This version is terrific because of it's contemporary conversations. Our youth today can relate to the books and understand what is being said and commanded of us from God. no excuses,
now, not to read the Bible!!!! The Bible is exciting and is God's Word!!! The Word is the Word no matter how truthful words are written!!!!!!

This product is very good towards increasing a reader's revealation knowledge in applying God's Word to his or her life. I would recommend this product to pastors, sunday school teachers, and anyone highly interested in Bible Study.

Thank you, Eugene Peterson, for writing The Message in today's English language. We don't speak in Thee's and Thou's any longer, so when the Lord has a point to make I am able to hear Him correctly and understand His intent more effectively.

your large print is certainly not what I consider large print. I have plently Bibles that I can read with a maginfing glass. When I order large print fiction from you I get large print. I had to give the Bible away. Ava

It is a good companion to the traditional bible. It helps fill in the more difficult passages where the style of writing is not always clear.

As I have aged, my eyes are not quite the same as they once were. This bible is perfect for solving that problem. I had the regular print bible and will now give that to my son. The large print is like an 18 font and perfect.

I am totally satisfied with the interpretation of the Bible in layman's terminology. It clarifies the Words in a simplified manner and therefore will open up a person's viewpoint with a very well versed perspective. Thank you very much.

This bible reads like a story. Just like others have said, it's not for studying but for reading. I would encourage it as a gift for just about anyone. I gave one to my 28 year old son. He loves it!! So there you go.

This was recommended by the Pastor of my church. Makes reading the King James and the NIV easier. Makes studying less complicated.

I often read the Messenger Bible with the King James Version open for comparison. When I start reading, I get so interested I don't remember to stop. It is a blessing and I often have to underline something that just opens up a scripture to deeper understanding. The large print really helps.

Found this larger print Bible extremely helpful! Find myself spending more time in the scriptures since I am able to read more easily. The spacing of the print on the page is very helpful. I usually make notations in my Bibles and have found this Bible is allowing for me to continue to do so. My eyes and I thank you for making this product available for me to purchase.

I love this translation, hadn't read at all prior to receiving, but I really like what I've read so far. The paper in this product is too thin, and rips very easily...so that is one thing I didn't like, also, I didn't feel that it was large print
