Customer Reviews
Each Sacrament Prep family Purchases this bible...
5/31/2016
By Stacey Pinder, OR
Our Parish uses this bible with our Sacrament Prep Families. They are given Scripture to read each week and discuss with their children as part of their preparation for First Reconciliation/Communion. I love this bible, offers great opportunity to meet families where they are and communicates in a way that is useful and insightful without paraphrasing as some translations do!
Editorial Reviews
