I really love this Bible… I have wanted to read the Bible cover to cover but felt reading alone daunting. But this Bible has a color coded learning system..Color coded Catechism Recerences and Jesus’s words in”red”. This Bible and the Hallow app have made the experience wonderful! The Bible is an approved version by the Catholic Church, reasonably priced.. It also contains has a page to record the presentation of the Bible as a gift, name, baptism date, communion date, confirmation date and marriage date.. it has an index of articles, charts, map and key events, a page with a list of the Books of the Bible and even pages for personal notes…I would definitely recommend this Bible to family and friends!
I can’t say enough good things about this bible. I’m a fan of premium leather bibles and I have several in my library. I can honestly say this is by far my favorite bible to study and read from. I chose the premium leather cover since it wasn’t that much more and glad I did. This is every bit a premium bible and the quality shows. I am not catholic but have been very interested in their teachings and doctrine so I decided to go through the bible in a year podcast using this bible to read from. It is so easy to read and having never used an RSV before this is quickly becoming my favorite translation. Also glad to have the deuterocanonical books so I can better understand their doctrine. I also have to say that I am so thankful for Ascension Press and all the ways I can learn and grow as a Christian. Thank you!
It’s my second Bible after my first communion Bible and I love it. I’m going to buy a second one for my wife.
This bible is so much more than I expected. High quality in every way. Looking forward to reading with my son. This is now my go to gift for loved ones and friends.
I love my new Bible. It's easy to read, beautifully bound, and full of clarifying information.
