Word On The Street

Word On The Street

I have recently stumbled upon this brand new paraphrase of the
scriptures. I will make a note of warning -- this is not a
translation of the bible -- it's even a stretch to say that it is a
paraphrase, but I think it is a really beautiful expression of how Rob
Lacey interprets the Bible. I would recommend it to anyone who would
like to see a fresh perspective on the holy scriptures. Here is an
example from John 3:16:

''Cos God's so passionate about the planet that he donates his one and
only Son. Whoever invests their life in His Son doesn't die, but gets
given this limitless life. D'you think God sends his Son to slam
people down? No! He sends his Son to liberate people."
