I've heard that The Message Remix isn't an accurate translation, from someone who really loves it. Just thought I'd let you know.

My brother-in-law loves Arguing With Idiots, and I think you'll like it too.

I read that in some of the Amazon comments, too, but overall they were positive. And I'm kind of using it as cliffnotes anyway ;)

Okies, cool.

And by the way, I'm not a KJV purist. I'm not mad or anything if you were wondering. But I guess not by the smilie. My favorite translation is the ESV, which is almost exactly the same as the Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, and it's a phrase-by-phrase, not word for word translation, which I think is best for understanding context.

I hope you enjoy your books.
