Book Overview
My First Catholic Bible gives children aged 6 to 10 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.

My First Catholic Bible for Catholic Childred
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
These Bibles were purchased by our Altar Society as a gift for the first and second graders receiving First Reconciliation and First Communion this year. As a Religious Education teacher, I wanted a Bible the children could easily turn to to find the day's Gospel message, so we could discuss it before Mass. I found the Bibles to be easy to read (but not simplistic) and phrased is a way the childred could understand. I have since purchased another for a parishoner who wanted one for her granddaughter.
Absloutely breathtaking

I was on a search for a bible that my boys could read. I looked for ones that I had when I was a child. The ones I had were very expensive and read more like a story. This one is so much better. Its so affordable and not indimitating by its size. It even has a glossary of all the names mentioned and who they are. Its beautiful to read and look at. I hope my boys hang on to these to pass down to thier children.

Very well done. Uses actual bible excerpts from NRSV in a very effective way. Nice, colorful pictures. Very durable pages. High quality materials. Covers a lot of the bible material.
Great for young and not so young
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
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!
