SLOW DOWN AND
CONNECT WITH GOD

The Bible in contemporary language is placed here alongside the
ancient Christian practice of lectio divina, or sacred reading. You’ll
enter the text of Scripture more fully than ever before and come out
of each prayerful reading with a fresh encounter with our loving God,
ready to live in the way of Jesus. The Message Prayerful Reading Bible
is a perfect resource for your devotional quiet time.
“It’s wonderful to witness more and more people
incorporating the lectio divina into their devotional
lives, moving from reading the biblical text in search of
revelation to prayerful exploration of its message, in search
of a personal transformative encounter. Eugene Peterson
was one of the great modern champions of this approach.
His Message translation of the Bible and the lectio divina
complement one another like fish and chips! This is a
resource to revitalize the prayer lives of thousands.”
