I am so happy I bought this!!!

It arrived much quicker than I expected. It arrived in a durable case, very well packaged. To say this is beautiful is a massive understatement. The cover feels good in the hands and the meticulous detail and cross referencing is astounding. I can't imagine a more thorough and comprehensive Bible than this. I have zero excuses now. This has inspired me to read on! Thank you for enriching my faith!

I Love It!

I love this Bible! It’s my first Catholic Bible, and I’m trying to reconnect with Catholicism after being away for about 13 years. I’ve always intended to read the Bible, but I could never get very far. However, since I started using this Bible and following the Bible in a Year program with Fr. Mike Schmitz, I’ve made more progress than I ever have before!

Love it

I purchased the spanish version and I really love it but I would love it even more if it had all the contents of the english version (comments, references to the CCC, charts, articles, timeline, etc.), so I was wondering if there is a new spanish edition on the making that includes all the material of the english version and comes in notetaking format.
