Easy to read

Some say this is not a good translation, I think if it makes it easier for anyone to read the Bible, it has achieved its purpose. I read numerous different translations and find this one good. It is so much better than not reading at all.

I find The Message Bible easy to read and understand.

This version of the Bible seems like a more understandable version and it is much easier for me to follow and understand.
