About this ebook

Transform Your Quiet Time
Today’s world is all about now—a fast-moving, high-speed, on-demand lifestyle. But has this pace changed how we study the Bible?

Our relationship with God is a journey, a walk where we grow closer to him each day. So it makes sense that reading and understanding scripture is a continual experience, not just a moment.

This innovative devotional is designed to change how you interact with God’s Word. The Message: Solo revolves around lectio divina, or “divine reading,” an ancient approach to exploring Scripture updated for today’s readers. Each devotion delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to:
  • Read: Uncover biblical wisdom and revelations as you learn to read without the typical limitations that often hinder Bible reading.
  • Think: Immerse yourself in the passages as you place yourself in the story or meditate on words and phrases.
  • Pray: Connect with him through listening prayer and praise as you encounter new ways to communicate with God.
  • Live: Rest, reflect, or act as you discover how to take the Word with you throughout the day.
Features include:
  • An introduction to the lectio divina style of study
  • Guided devotions with a day for reflection every week
  • A topical index for finding issues that impact your life
  • Numbered devotions so you can start anytime and never fall behind

    Gods message was meant to be read and more than that it was meant to be understood, this may not be the scholarly way to read the Bible but its my way and in this this book is doing IMMENSE good!

    I don't like this version. I suppose I'm willing to go along with the idea that it's good for young people who haven't been exposed to much reading and who otherwise wouldn't try reading the Bible. The other side of that argument is all about low expectations. There's absolutely no reason why young people can't read and understand the New RSV, for example. It just strikes me as a further "dumbing down" and goes along with everything else that's going on in the churches today. I'm thinking particularly of the music and all the silent organs that might as well be dismantled for scrap.I bought this book so that I would know for myself what the book is like. Now I know. I give it half a star only because I can't give it negative stars.

    I've been using this version of the Bible as a teaching aid with some teenagers this year. Its been wonderful. Its really helped to open them up to the idea of reading the bible and its helped for me to see the text in a new light. I highly recommend this book, especially when used in conjunction with a more traditional translation.

    I love the Message translation. It's such a wonderful, passionate interpretation of the Bible, and speaks to you in a way that makes its timeless words relevant NOW. Whenever I read it, it makes me want to go out and DO something about my faith!

    I personally like The Message, but only with a discerning eye. It is really a running commentary on the bible rather than a translation. I give it 4 stars because, again, I find many good thoughts in it.
