Editorial Reviews

Product Description

My First Catholic Bible gives children aged 6 to 11 a devotional Bible of their very own. This colorfully illustrated storybook Bible is not an adaptation or a paraphrase of the Bible, but it uses selections from the actual text of the highly respected and readable New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition, including stories from the Deuterocanonical Books.

With Stories from Noah's ark to the angel's annunciation to St. Mary - from Moses on the mountain talking to God to St. Peter in Jerusalem preaching to people from every nation - My First Catholic Bible is ideal for family devotions, but also perfectly suited for children to read on their own. The 260 Bible stories include memory verses and prayer starters that make the scriptures even more exciting and fun to read. Full-color art by Natalie Carabetta helps children visualize the action and people in each story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for young and not so young, February 28, 2003

By	Debbie Hill (Bridgewater, MA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this for my 9 yr old daughter. She enjoys using it because the weekly format makes it so simple. Each week has a Bible verse to memorize. Each day a fragment of the verse is given so as no to overwhelm. After each chapter/story there is a Prayer starter. It has received an Imprimatur from the Nat'l Conference of Bishops as well as Canadian Conference of Bishops. There is also a page containing the basic prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be) and mentions the use of the Rosary. This Bible is for anyone who finds a traditional Bible overwhelming. You have to start somewhere!
