I’m looking to buy a Bible because i’ve never read it cover to cover. I was raised in the faith, though i went astray for a long time; and it feels like something I absolutely need to do.

Christian pedes: any advice on what version of the Bible to get/not get? I’ve got my eye on the Founder’s Bible at the moment. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The Message Bible - it is very easy to read and understand

It's a paraphrase, not a translation.

Fair enough! Though I still find too much personal slant of the re-writer affecting the content in it and thus would recommend a more accurate actual translation.

I'm sorry The Message isnt actually a legit translation and shouldnt be the basis of your reading and study.
