A quality produced Bible not only in terms of it beauty but also because of the resources within. It brings the biblical verses to life with the built in explanations, timelines & historical perspective. I only regret not purchasing it sooner. It is such a blessing. Thank you Ascension & all who participated in its production, especially Jeff Cavins.
This is the fourth copy of this Catholic Bible I have purchased. They are going to each of my grandchildren and they love them. I hope they will continue to learn about the bible as the grow up-and remember everything that was taught to them.
Thank you for the gift you have given. I have returned to the church after some time away. This has been a beautiful welcome home.
This is the 3rd bible that I've purchased from Ascension. Two as gifts (for my Mom and Daughter) and one for me! We all love to read this Bible because it lays the format like stories and making you want to keep reading. The quality is beautiful and wonderful and I recommend purchasing one for yourself and one as a gift to a loved one.
I really like this . Great to read and find things
