I was completed satisfied with the Bible and it's condition was even better than I had expected. This was almost like purchasing new except it cost less. I was amazed when it arrived much earlier than they had advertised and the packaging was very careful to protect this Bible too. I will purchase again from this company. They demonstrate a sincere desire to do business with integrity and pride.

I am a devout Catholic. I own many different versions of the Bible. This Catholic One Year Bible is the best translation I have ever read because it brings The Word of God alive for me! It really speaks to my heart, mind, soul, and life! This is the translation in which I can really feel the Holy Spirit!!!
God's Word in easy daily doses!

I thoroughly enjoy my Catholic One Year Bible! It is an easy and delightful way to read the entire Bible in one year. Daily readings include short sections from the Old Testament and the New Testament, a Psalm and a Proverb. I use it constantly in my personal prayer life!
The Bible in digestible pieces for day-to-day consumption

OK, you want to read the Bible every day. You know you should (and if you're a Catholic, you really should, because we don't read it as much as we should!). But where to start? It's a big book, after all. This Bible starts at the beginning of the Old Testament, the beginning of the New Testament, the beginning of the Psalms, and the beginning of the Proverbs. You get the whole Bible in order, but you get a piece of the 4 parts mentioned above every day. So, you're not mired in some geneological book of the Old Testament, the way you would be if you tried to read the Bible from the first page on (the Old Testament tends to get a bit heavy sometimes!). It's a good translation -- not the best I've read (I'm pretty conservative), but very readable and not full of colloquialisms or modern slang to throw you off. It's also not as old-fashioned as the Duohey-Rheims Catholic Bible (the Catholic answer to the King James Bible), but it's also not indecipherable, the way D-R can sometimes get. I enjoy reading this Bible. It's the one I keep in my desk at work, and take on breaks.
