My First Catholic Bible

Excellent children's Bible. You read a page a night for 5 nights and in 1 year you have cover all the important Bible stories. Includes teaching aid for parents.

These Bibles were purchased by our Altar Society as a gift for the first and second graders receiving First Reconciliation and First Communion this year. As a Religious Education teacher, I wanted a Bible the children could easily turn to to find the day's Gospel message, so we could discuss it before Mass. I found the Bibles to be easy to read (but not simplistic) and phrased is a way the childred could understand. I have since purchased another for a parishoner who wanted one for her granddaughter.

I was on a search for a bible that my boys could read. I looked for ones that I had when I was a child. The ones I had were very expensive and read more like a story. This one is so much better. Its so affordable and not indimitating by its size. It even has a glossary of all the names mentioned and who they are. Its beautiful to read and look at. I hope my boys hang on to these to pass down to thier children.

Very well done. Uses actual bible excerpts from NRSV in a very effective way. Nice, colorful pictures. Very durable pages. High quality materials. Covers a lot of the bible material.

I bought this for my 9 yr old daughter. She enjoys using it because the weekly format makes it so simple. Each week has a Bible verse to memorize. Each day a fragment of the verse is given so as no to overwhelm. After each chapter/story there is a Prayer starter. It has received an Imprimatur from the Nat'l Conference of Bishops as well as Canadian Conference of Bishops. There is also a page containing the basic prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be) and mentions the use of the Rosary. This Bible is for anyone who finds a traditional Bible overwhelming. You have to start somewhere!
