Enjoying this Bible very much.

I am using this for "Bible in a Year" and I enjoy every day with this Bible. The quality is very good and I feel as though it will last for years without issue. I find the RSV2CE to be very pleasant and seems to flow naturally. The included timeline and color coding greatly help to place events from various books in context with each other. The references and explanations do nicely and don't get in the way when reading the actual text. The one minor change I would make is to add a third ribbon. The "Bible in a Year" program reads from three books a day but there are only two ribbons in the book for marking pages. Considering this is the bible so often chosen by those of us following Fr. Mike's program, I think the cost of a third ribbon would be negligible and would greatly ease the use of this bible during the program.

This is a fantastic bible!!

There are several reasons I really like this bible: the RSV2CE translation is very good and the text is understandable; the textual layout is pleasing to the eye - appropriate white space, and a nice-sized font; and the added content (maps, charts, geneologies, etc.) is very good!! Plus the leather-like version is nicely done.

I'm using it along with the Ascension app's Bible-in-a-Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz. Also very good! I'm only a couple months in right now. I also highly recommend the supplementary materials available, including the Bible Timeline Chart, the Bible in a Year notebook, and especially the Bible in a Year Companion (has 3 volumes). The Companion is wonderful - it contains all the important points made by Fr. Mike Schmitz for each podcast episode of the Bible in a Year!! Extremely helpful.

Today, I also received Ascension's version of the Catechism, and I will be starting the Catechism in a Year podcast as well. Cannot thank Ascension enough for all of these wonderful, truly excellent materials that are integral to the Faith!!!

The Great Study Bible!

I purchased the Great Adventure Catholic Bible before pandemic in 2020 at Paulines Catholic Bookstore in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I started to read the Bible on January 1 and will end this December 31, 2024 through the Bible In A Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz. This is an excellent Catholic Bible with color-coded tabs in different books both Old and New Testaments.

I brought that Great Adventure Catholic Bible that I traveled to my home country Philippines. I introduced to my cousins, relatives, and former colleagues that rare Bible; however, it isn't available in different Catholic Bookstores in the Philippines as of now. Reading the Bible is my vow to know God and salvation in the last days. God bless to Fr. Mike, Dr. Jeff Cavins, and all the staff of Ascension Press. To God Be The Glory!

Love this Bible

I’m so glad I purchased this Bible. It is very easy to follow along with Father Mike on the daily readings.
The color coded sections help to find the different
Books of the Bible. The navy blue cover is beautiful as well.
