Publisher's Description

▼▲

By popular demand, here is a gift-edition reprint of this classic Bible that introduces young readers to the fascinating stories of both the Old and New Testaments. Featuring breathtaking full-color artwork and a readable translation, this collection is sure to draw children and adults alike into the awe-inspiring stories of Scripture and salvation history as never before.

This engaging volume combines two favorites: A Catholic Child's Bible: The Old Testament and A Catholic Child’s Bible: The New Testament. The supplementary section titled “The Story of the Bible” offers an accessible overview of the books of Sacred Scripture and their meaning for you.

The book includes artwork depicting various parts of the Mass as well as sections for personalizing with key dates and family information.

Designed to become the new go-to children's Bible for English-speaking Catholics everywhere, it includes numerous stories that other children's Bibles leave out and is written in pure, undiluted language. The artwork is deeply appealing, and the style shifts when moving from the Old Testament to the New.
