I truly am enjoying my

"I truly am enjoying my womens Bible. It has footnotes where you can look up scriptures but I fo most of all love are the question it asks you when finishing a passage or book. I am very happy with my purchase. I recommend the bible for women who are very busy or who need as I did more in depth explanation as I learn about God."

Beautiful Bible

"This Bible is so beautiful. The size of the text is a little bigger than other bibles and there are note lines on each page. I’m so excited to follow the yearly schedule outlined in the back of the book and find a new love of reading scripture."

Amanda (5/5)

Living the Word

"I love this Bible. It is beautiful to look at, but more importantly it is filled with extras that speak to me as a Catholic woman. I bought a journal to use with it. I couldn't recommend it more highly."

Patricia A. (5/5)

Feast for the soul.

"So happy with this purchase. Learning and digesting. A beautiful gift for any Christian woman."

MARCIA G. (5/5)

An Amazing Faith-Builder for Catholic Women!

"When I first picked up this Bible, I was delighted with the colorful pages of the saints and the beautiful packaging. But when I started reading, I wished I'd had this Bible when I first started studying the faith thirty years ago! Throughout the sacred text, introductions and essays help me to better understand not only the meaning of the text, but its significance to me personally. Fascinating biographies of biblical women, seasonal reading plans, and other helpful reading tips make this the best Catholic devotional Bible I've ever seen!"

Heidi S. (5/5)
