I am curious what you guys think about story bibles. Whether they are the ones we use with our children or the ones for adults (like "The Message").
Do you feel that these types of "Bibles" have an advantage in reaching those who would normally shy away from reading the Bible or those who have difficulty understanding other translations?
Do you think when we read the Bible to our kids we should read a more traditional translation or use the story bibles to help them understand better or be more interested?

I like the children's bibles that grab the attention of kids in a way that encourages them to retell those stories.
The message is a good read. Perhaps it takes too much poetic license in the name of contemporizing but it is good.
The long and the short of it is this, for the scripture to have impact on one's life, it needs to be read and understood.
