Laridian has released a new paraphrase bible for Pocket Bible called "The Message."
" 'The Message' provides a refreshingly unique Bible-reading experience. Translated directly from the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts into contemporary speech, The Message is designed to open up new understanding and insight as you read God’s Word. With no formal language and no verse numbers, the Scriptures unfold like a gripping novel. Passages you’ve read many times before come alive, revealing the vibrant energy and passion of God’s Word."
The differences in the paraphrase bible can be astonishing. Here is John 3:16.
New American Standard: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
The Message: This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.
Certianly not a bible you'd study from, but one that would be much easier to read at night. It is $19.99, requires a new Pocket Bible (free download for existing owners) and is approximately 2.7MB.
