I’ve always had a relationship with Jesus but it was rekindled in recent years and my mom and I began to read our Bible every single day last year. This was my first time reading the Bible cover to cover, from Genesis to Revelation, and it changed my life. It’s the best book ever, a book full of God’s love and promises fulfilled to us through His Son. My mom and I are going to keep reading this every day together and we are grateful for our one year with His Word! ❤️

Honestly this book (or collection of books) should get 6 stars. It tops anything else I've ever read. Just simply amazing...

OK so I stole this bible from my sister! Can you believe I stole a bible? But this bible is great... all these little entries along the way to make the bible not so boring. So when I need guidence or something I can skip the actual bible stories and read the advice columns. Thanks Laura

Never believed I would actually finish!!! I'm glad I had written out a schedule, otherwise I would never had gotten this far! Were there days when I read nothing? Of course! Were there days that I read that I was a maniac and played catch-up? Of course! Am I glad I took the time to finally read it? Absolutely!

Let's be honest, I'm never going to finish this at the rate I'm going. I like this translation and the font is slightly larger than normal.

What?

3 stars for the Bible?

Ok, so actually, I didn't read this whole thing. It was a just a to-hand copy of the Bible which has the Apocrypha in it. I've always been curious to read these extra books to see what's in them.

My star rating reflects the apocryphal sections, where 3 stars basically means I'm not interested in reading them again.

They're fine. I don't regret reading them. But I can definitely see why they're considered inessential to be included in the canon of the Old Testament.

OH YEAH. CAN YOU FEEL THE JESUS IN YOU?

But really, it's been a very insightful and wonderful journey of Faith in really reading Scripture from end to end. How can we attempt to defend our faith when we have yet to even read up on our own beliefs? (hint hint: on to the Catechism!)

When I began, I doubted God and His merciless acts towards Moses in the desert. But after a challenge from my sister, I really learned. I sought to prove myself wrong and it's been eye-opening, to say the least.

The Catholic Youth Bible, specifically, has a lot of relate-able quotations and cultural connections to make the text a lot more relevant to an adolescent's day-to-day struggles. They can be helpful but, for the most part, more distracting.

All-in-all, read this. Any version. :)

This bible has a user friendly format, great anecdotes, stories to help illustrate scripture and has been an invaluable resource for over 17 years. Wonderful edition for teens and adults. Cannot recommend enough!!!

Kind of like the "Extreme Teen Bible", except for young adults.

This book has been a great resource over the years for my grandson. We started when he was around 8, and every vacation he got to spend with his Nana & Papa, this was part of our visit.
