"I thought this book was a very good version of the new testament. It was really easy to understand what they were saying. The only part I didn't like was that because it was written differently, it was sometimes hard to find the certain passage that I was looking for. But overall, I thought it was really good. I read it with my youth group this summer on our mission trip, and it was a great book, and I really enjoyed it."

" with a blurb from U2's Bono, this version of the Bible in modern language sings with beautiful prose. The Psalms are sublimely poetic. A favorite passage (Mark 11) talks about "the unforced rhythms of grace." I just love that. "
