After a couple of weeks usingThe Message//Remix:Solo:The Uncommon Devotional I am going to put the book in my Goodwill box. The exclusive language for God of “He, He, He” is too bothersome to me and I find it influencing my image of God. I think the devotional exercises are useful and imaginative, not the usual “everything turns out rosy” sort of devotions but the language of the text is unnecessarily male imagery of God. I was familiar with The Message, having read it entirely, but I had missed this aspect until now. I can no longer recommend it to parishioners without a disclaimer about the language. I do not advocate for the complete exclusion of God as “He” but The Message//Remix: Solo: The Unccommon Devotional has no sensitivity to the idea of God as person.

Glancing through this book I am anxious to start using it as one of my daily devotions on January 1.

President George W. Bush is a book lover. Besides reading through the Bible each year, along with a daily devotional reading, the President read 95 books in 2006. He finished 51 books in 2007 and read at least 40 in 2008. Karl Rove, former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President Bush, reported all of this in a Wall Street Journal column on Dec. 26, 2008. Rove and the President had a little reading contest going over the years. Rove won each year (his top mark was 110 books in 2006). Amazing.
So do you have time to “prime the pump” spiritually every day? Rove said Bush would have done more reading, but he lost the contest “because he’d been busy as Leader of the Free World.” What’s your excuse?
What books will you read this year? And how many? For starters on your Bible reading/devotional times, you will enjoy the unique format of Solo, a Scripture selection from The Message on one page and a Read/Think/Pray/Live brief commentary on the second page.
“The devotions found in Solo are based on the classical method of lectio divina: reading, thinking, praying and living Scripture with the intention of inviting an infinite, omniscient God into your life–as it is, no gloss, no veneer. Lectio divina is more Bible basking than Bible study,” say the authors.
This is my pick for this year. Basking sounds good.

What a great little devotional!
I had been tinkering with a few different devotionals but finding it difficult to stick to one. Few were enticing me to delve deeper into the daily scripture reading.
The Message//Remix Solo: An Uncommon Devotional has me excited at my daily readings I find myself not only attacking the expanded passages but russling deeper, wherever the Word takes me.
The simple process of “devotion” encouraged in the text is the key to its wonder. Read/Think/Pray/Live. It seems so simple but oft times I would find myself reading and that is it. Since I have discovered this devotional whether I am using the book or not I find myself not just Reading but Thinking, Praying and Living the Word.
If you are looking for a devotional that helps to enhance your prayer life then I highly recommend the The Message//Remiz Solo: An Uncommon Devotional.

EVerybody should read the Bible and this is an easy-reading version, not translated word-for-word, but catches and holds your interest. I would not recommend this version for theology study; check with KJV for that.
