I’m pretty sure most of us will be familiar with Bono, the man who started what we now know as U2 – one of the biggest rock bands of all time.

Many will know that he is not just a rock star, but also a famed philanthropist and humanitarian – amongst other awards, he has been named Man of Peace by the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates (2008).

On the other hand, I’m sure few of us know a man named Eugene Peterson – a writer who handed the world a work of art in the form of a modern, everyday language translation of the Bible known as “The Message”. Whether you know him or not, Peterson has had a massive influence on the world through this translation and some of his other works.

So it was very interesting to come across this mini documentary where these two world changers chat about Eugene’s work, the Bible, and a range of other topics.

I hope this video inspires you to realise that the world out there is waiting for you to translate art, love, poetry, sport, and other spheres of life into modern, real language that speaks to those who need to hear your message.
