GNT Holy Bible, Catholic Edition, Violet/Grey Imitation Leather

The GNT Catholic Edition Bible with Deuterocanonicals is not simply great literature to be admired and revered; it is Good News for all people everywhere - a message both to be understood and to be applied in daily life. In this present edition the deuterocanonical books are arranged in the order most familiar to Roman Catholics. Though previously known as Today's English Version (TEV) and commonly known as the Good News Bible (GNB), the translation is now called the Good News Translation.

I am very pleased with this Bible. It is perfect for a young woman who truly wants to know Christ. It is easy to read and it includes the 3 year reading cycle for Sunday Mass which is very convenient. The illustrations are so elegantly done they truly add to the overall beauty of this Bible.

My Personal Opinion This so far is the only Catholic edition of an Dynamic equivalence translation I had the opportunity to review. I like this Bible because it's easy to read & very direct. I recommend this Bible to any one who is looking for a Dynamic equivalence translation. About the binding & cover The cover is made of an artificial leather called Leatherette. Leatherette is a form of artificial leather, usually made by covering a fabric base with plastic. The fabric can be made of a natural or a synthetic fiber which is then covered with a soft PVC layer. The cover on the Bible is very pliable, but it doesn't feel quite as leathery as some over types of artificial leather. (Personally I don't see this as an issue) I love the two tone design of this Bible it's nice to see a Catholic Bible with a more modern design. Over all the cover & binding seem to be very good quality. Whats in side? In this edition of the GNT the deuterocanonical books are arranged in the order most familiar to Roman Catholics. (Which I find to be a blessing, it can be so frustrating trying to find Daniel 13 in some Catholic editions.) At the front of each book you'll find Book Introductions and Outlines. Through out the GNT Catholic Bible are illustrations by Annie Vallotton. I found myself flipping through the pages to see the illustrations. As you can see from my photos the illustrations are simple yet interesting. There is over 600 of Annie Vallotton's Illustrations in this edition. The text is a comfortable size at 9 points. This Bible has subject headings in bold lettering. The paper is very thin, I do not recommend using highlighters in this Bible. The paper also has a semi-transparent quality, which can make reading difficult in certain lighting. The pages have silver gilted edges, which matches the design of the cover & the built in ribbon marker very well.

What a beautiful Bible! The font is easy reading, and the translation is so readable. It is a treasure and I am blessed to own it.
