Title: Nice poetic prose...for those that already know the Bible
Product review: The book arrived on time and in new condition. I ordered this size because I wanted something compact and did not realize the print would be so small. As far as the book...er...Bible...itself...I agree that there are some interesting passages, but this is for people who already know scripture already and can hold this "translation" up to others. I am not a King James purist (not yet, anyway :) ...and there are times when the language of The Message is like reading easy poetry...its fluid and it flows, but any new age language or references are completely unacceptable...this cannot be considered an actual Bible.
