Bible Peterson
Would you recommend The Message by Eugene Peterson to a person who never read the bible?
I'm a baptised Protestant-Christian and I find reading the KJV and the NKJV difficult to understand. It was not until I came across at a Christian bookstore the book called The Message by Eugene Peterson. I know The Message is paraprased from the bible but to me it makes me really interested and I totally understand the bible except for some small parts.
I plan on completing The Message and eventually switching to the NKJV after I've understood the main concept of the bible. I know it's not God's word but would it not be better to understand what it's really saying before getting into the NKJV or the KJV. Is what I'm doing a good idea? I need some advice from any Christians out there. I really want to understand God's word and find it in my heart to be saved by Jesus.
Thanks for all your advice.
Yes, to get started, it is a good idea. The KJV and NKJV will be a lot easier to tackle once you have the basic concept down. ^_^ Good luck!
