Less than one inch thick, <i>The Message Slimline</i> is the skinniest edition of <i>The Message</i> ever. Appearing in <i>The Message</i>’s distinctive single-column reading format, the Slimline combines the best features of both books and Bibles. <i>The Message Slimline</i> is ready to go and easy to carry.<br/><br/>Eugene Peterson’s <i>The Message</i> rouses long-time Bible readers from their sleepy routines and awakens in them a renewed interest and desire to hear God speak. For outsiders, it breaks the stereotypes they have of the Bible as being stodgy, stiff, and humorless.
