Product Description
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 Remix: Solo revolves around lectio divina, or "divine reading," an ancient approach to exploring Scripture updated for today's students. Each devotion delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to: ReadUncover biblical wisdom and revelations as you learn to read without the typical limitations that often cut Bible reading short. ThinkImmerse yourself in the passage as you place yourself in the story or meditate on words and phrases. PrayConnect with God through prayer and praise as you encounter new ways to communicate with him. LiveTake some time for rest, introspection, or even activity as you discover how to take the Word with you throughout the day. Features include: oAn introduction to the lectio divina style of study oA topical index for finding issues that impact your life oNumbered devotions so you can start any day of the year oA time of rest and reflection for every seventh day So don't just read the Bible. Get engaged with God's Word and let it revolutionize your life.

 A Quality Devotional November 23, 2008
I have thoroughly enjoyed this devotional book. Using the text of The Message, Eugene Peterson guides us through the Bible, using select texts and a technique that modern Scripture readers aren't too familiar with. I have been inspired, convicted and encouraged by the devotions in this book. While The Message is not my favorite translation, I applaud Mr. Peterson for this book. He worked hard and produced a very good tool for devotions.
 as an outsider November 19, 2008
like bono said one time I consider myself one who would like to aspire to being called a christian, and Peterson here relates to me, even if it can still be a bit heavy heanded at times, much like i find in alot of churchianity. Somehow I find this better than message, i think because there doesn't seem to be of much of that bad accounting method of atonement (yes, i spent 20 years in dif denom's before i just accepted my "sinfulness") i really dunno.. I'm a yoga instructor now, and i find that this devotional can be used and adapted for meditation sessions too...

I love this book! It's called me to examine scripture more closely in language I can easily understand.
The Best! September 9, 2008
This is the best devotional I have ever used. It is very contemplative and simple. Eugene Peterson draws yu into the scripture like no other devotional. I recommend it without reservation.
Uncommonly Great Devotional April 1, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am privileged to have experienced this daily devotional based on The Message translation of The Bible written by Eugene Peterson. There are selected passages for all 365 days of the year and I'm a quarter of the way through it so far and it truly is the best daily devotional I've ever read and experienced.
First off, I've never actually read The Message translation although I love the contemporary language. I'm looking forward to reading all of the translations throughout this year and comparing them to my favorite NIV Bible verses. This book has given me both the opportunity to read a new modern translation AND experience the verses by doing a devotional. My pastor J.R. Briggs, along with Jan Johnson and Katie Peckham wrote the daily devotional content.
One of the studies I really enjoy is called Lectio Divina. It is a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to study, ponder, listen and, finally pray from God's Word. Mostly this involves focusing on a certain word or phrase from the text and meditating and praying over that text.
I truly find this to be an uncommonly great devotional. I spend about 15-30 minutes per day delving into God's Word and experiencing what God has to say to me. I highly recommend this book.
God Bless!
