Palm Sunday?
Lend a hand and put the gospel in your palm, your Palm Pilot that is. Bible+ bible reading software for Palm OS PDAs, announces the immediate availability of The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language for Bible+. "I'm honored to receive rights to distribute The Message," said Yih-Chun Hu. "Peterson's lucid translation is very readable, and makes you want to read on and on." This is exactly what Eugene Peterson was aiming for when he wrote this contemporary translation: "I hope that when readers find the poetry, the stories, the prayers, the songs in this Book in their language---the sort of language in which it was written---they will read it from cover to cover, nonstop," says Peterson. The Message for Bible+ is licensed through PalmGear for only $15, a $25 print value. You are encourged to try before you buy: the translation can be browsed on BibleGateway, and Bible+ is freely available on PalmGear.
