I bought this for my daughter and use it even more than she does. This is a wonderful Catholic interpretation of the Bible and does a great job of explaining Catholic beliefs and traditions in relation to Scripture. It has all 73 books, so it's a complete Catholic Bible.
Some of the special features I like most include "Live It!" giving the reader practical applications drawn from real life and "Pray It!" encouraging the use of the Bible for personal prayer. Lots of study aids help place the teachings in context.
The Catholic religion hasn't changed in over 2,000 years, yet this bible makes it accessible to today's believers. I recommend it for anyone interested in a little extra help when exploring Scripture.

This is an awesome Bible for kids- especially young teens. We give them to our 6th graders each year and they use it for study through high school.
We have always purchased them through the publisher and they have become quite costly. By buying through Amazon, I saved over $300.00! Yes, I will check here for purchases in the future.
