Review: as a pastor in the postmodern church, and the editor of ginkworld.net, i recommend the entire message series. we use it 100% of the time. all our lessons and teachings come from the message - it's easy to read and powerful for the heart.

Review: Peterson has painstakingly translated not just the words from the original text, he has also captured a contemporary setting for the life of Moses.
There is an easy relation between the world we know today & the world that was then.
Personally I have always struggled with the contextual issues of the Old Testament in King James Version or even the New International Version, t's the relation between a cultural I have no knowledge of & the culture that I am soaked in. The Message Old Testament books, for me, is perfect clarity in an otherwise cloudy spectrum.
