Understand the Bible better with a guide to navigating God's Word.
The Bible is central to our Faith as Catholics. But approaching such a large and complex collection of writings that span thousands of years is intimidating for most of us. We need a guide, a compass to set us off on the right course so that our time spent studying the Scriptures is a time spent encountering the living God.
The Bible Compass provides Catholics with the tools to study the Word of God with confidence and purpose, and it teaches them how to understand the Bible within the living Tradition of the Catholic Church.
It addresses all the common questions about the Bible including:
- Where did the Bible come from?
- Why is the Bible so important?
- Is the Bible really inspired by God?
- Why do Catholic Bibles have more books than Protestant Bibles?
- Do I have to take the Bible literally?
- How do I know if I am interpreting the Bible correctly?
As Catholics we are called to have an intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Church as revealed in the Scriptures. Reading the Bible with the proper tools and in the appropriate context will help you grow in your love for the Faith and in your relationship with Jesus Christ himself, who is the Word made Flesh (John 1:14).

I have not yet finished this book. However, I am more than impressed so far. If you ever have questions regarding what the Bible is, or why is the Catholic Bible different and what makes it be the "right" type, THIS IS YOUR BOOK. It answers so many questions that you might have about the Bible. It does an amazing job at explaining what it is, how it should be interpreted, how it should be read, and any other questions that you might get from it. I am absolutely in love with it. It is a very easy read, yet it does not oversimplify its meaning.
If you are a Christian looking for a book on how the Bible should be interpreted, buy this. I think this book should be more recognized. Truly amazing!
