ONE love, blood, life
(But that's not why I picked it up.)
I was out looking for books tonight with my sister, and while looking among the Christianity section, I noticed a few copies of The Message, the Bible translation in "plain English." I flipped through it and was intrigued (and, yes, caught Bono's on the back cover).
I've started to read some of it, and I must say that I do find it startlingly clear, emotive, and even reverent without losing its plainspoken quality. Anyone else familiar with The Message? Anyone have any thoughts?
