The Message Old Testament Prophets: In Contemporary Language

Using the same everyday, letter-writing language he used for the The Message New Testament, Eugene Peterson brings new life to the seemingly distant and dusty prophets of the Old Testament. The voices that wept, challenged, and judged so long ago come charging into contemporary life with new, personal meaning.

With over six million copies sold worldwide, Eugene Peterson's unique paraphrase of the New Testament has opened up fresh understanding and insight into God's Word. The Message is consistently one of the top ten best-selling Bible versions listed in CBA's Marketplace. This edition includes the Old Testament books between Isaiah and Malachi.
