The Message Book of Psalms and
The Message Book of Proverbs are two scripture-based inspirational Bible spinoffs in the series by Eugene H. Peterson, free courtesy of Christian publisher NavPress.
Since they're essentially the same thing, might as well put them in the same post so that interested people can pick up both at the same time. Might show up at Amazon later; NavPress is usually pretty generous about having their freebies in most of the stores.
Currently free @ B&N, Sony (probably available to Canadians), and Christian Book.

Description
The ancient hymns, poems, and prayers found in the Psalms teach us how to communicate with God. As Eugene Peterson writes, this book "gives us a language adequate for responding to the God who speaks to us."
Translated directly from the original Hebrew, the Psalms come alive in the heart-stirring words of The Message.
