The Great Adventure Catholic Bible

The BEST Bible ever! Clearly written, Jesus’s words are all written in red ink. With great explanations of where we are in Salvation history! Love it!

I recently had a one-on-one with God. Feb 1, 2024 to be exact. I was on my death bed (AGAIN) and while lucid, I heard clearly as if he were standing beside me... "I'm not done with you". And... "How many times do I have to do this for you." And the next day, fever (104ish) broke, and i was out of ICU after a few more days. I stumbled upon the CHOSEN ( It's fantastic, every Christian or even non-practitioner who wants to know more about Jesus should watch it), and through the main actor, John Roumie, I found Father Mike Schmitz on the "Hallow App". There's a program called "Bible in a year" podcast there on Hallow and on Ascension app. This is the bible he uses, and it's very easy to study from. I bought the chapter tabs and installed them too. Great looking and useful Bible for those who desire to KNOW. God bless.

Hey, I've been using The Great Adventure Catholic Bible and here are my thoughts: ### Pros: 1. **Color-Coding System:** The color-coding system is fantastic. It divides the Bible into twelve time periods, making it much easier to follow the story of salvation history. 2. **Readable Layout:** The text is clear and easy to read, with a well-organized layout. The pages are sturdy and high-quality. 3. **Study Tools:** There are plenty of helpful tools like timelines, maps, and detailed commentary. The introductions to each book provide valuable historical and cultural context. 4. **Spiritual Growth:** This Bible includes reflective essays and questions that help deepen your spiritual life and encourage personal meditation. ### Cons: 1. **Price:** It's a bit expensive compared to other Bibles. The extra features are great, but it might be a stretch if you’re on a tight budget. 2. **Size and Weight:** This Bible is quite large and heavy, making it less portable. It's better suited for home study rather than being carried around. 3. **Binding Quality:** Some users have reported issues with the binding coming loose over time, which is disappointing given the cost. ### Overall: The Great Adventure Catholic Bible is a wonderful resource if you’re serious about studying Scripture. It’s full of features that enhance understanding and spiritual growth. Despite the higher price and size, it’s a valuable addition to your spiritual journey.

I Enjoy reading this bible, I also got the tabs for it . It’s easy with tabs to find your scripture. I recommend this bible

I love how this is set up in a reading plan and all the extras in it to give context

In the early printings of the Great Adventure Catholic Bible, the pages were clearly glued--though the description stated that it was sewn and glued. I had bought one of the early printings, and sections started falling out within the first year. Granted, as a Catholic Priest, I use my Bible regularly. So, it got worn out more quickly. I was reticent to rebuy it until I saw the newer printings, which clearly seem to be sewn. The signatures are clearly visible, and the Bible opens very easily and lays flat all throughout. This isn't a study-Bible by any means, but (in my opinion) it presents the clearest introduction to Sacred Scripture and covenant-history for Christians. I love the translation (RSV-2CE), and I use it alongside the Douay-Rheims (for traditional Vulgate and Septuagint renderings). The translation is from the same manuscripts as the RSV (Stuttgart Hebrew and Nestle-Aland 17), but, in accordance with Liturgiam Authenticam, the RSV Second Catholic Edition will always default to Septuagint/Vulgate OT and Vulgate NT renderings when there are multiple translation options. So, all the "Catholic" boxes are checked ("Virgin" rather than "young woman," "Full of grace" rather than "highly favored one," etc.). The RSV-2CE, to me, seems to strike the best balance of traditional renderings, beautiful language, and critical excellence, which is very hard to do otherwise. Every translation has deficiencies, but the RSV-2CE has very few for the faithful Catholic. It's about the next best thing to a modernized Douay-Rheims. And yes, there are cheaper versions of the RSV-2CE in print. HOWEVER, this printing is formatted is such a way that I really love reading it. Ignatius Press has a cheaper RSV-2CE, but it uses a cream-colored paper that, to me, is extremely difficult to look at for long periods without feeling eye-strain. The Great Adventure Bible has a great contrast between the white pages (NOT gilded) and dark black print, there is minimal ghosting, and the margins are wide enough to ensure that text isn't lost inside the seam. I grew up Protestant (NKJV, primarily), so having Our Lord's words in red was a nostalgic bonus for me! So long as you're getting one of the newer printings, I HIGHLY recommend the INVESTMENT of the Great Adventure Catholic Bible. It's not cheap, but I can't think of a better Catholic Bible currently on the market. And, you know what? Who doesn't love a floppy blue Bible!

I love this Bible! This is the best Bible I have ever owned, Catholic or Protestant (I'm a convert to the glorious Catholic Faith). I love how the Great Adventure Catholic Bible connects the verses on each page to those on other pages and in the Old or New Testament. This helps me to see how the Old Testament and the New Testament connect where it does. I love the fact that the words of Our Lord, Jesus Christ are in red. This is the first Catholic Bible that I have ever seen that has the words of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in red (red letter addition). I also absolutely love the Timeline of Salvation History in this Bible too. Each book is color-coded to show where and how it fits into Salvation History. Each new period in Salvation History has a thorough introduction to lay out the narrative books in that period and all the major events in that particular period of Salvation History. When and if this Bible wears out, I will buy another copy, this is truly the last Bible I will ever buy!!! I do recommend that you buy the color-coded Bible tabs specifically made for this Great Adventure Catholic Bible. This helps to go right to the book you're looking for and to easily see the Timeline of Salvation History. I cannot recommend this Bible, the Great Adventure Catholic Bible enough! This Bible will truly change your life, your relationship with Holy Scripture, and therefore the Most Holy and Blessed Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It will also change the way that you look at and think of Salvation History because you will understand it much better. I say these things because this Bible changed me in all these ways and more! The Great Adventure Catholic Bible is truly a great gift from God Himself!! The price may be high, but trust me, it is WELL WORTH IT!! I didn't want to pay $59.99 but God assured me it would be money well spent, and as always, He was right!! (I usually don't write very long reviews, but I felt the Holy Spirit urging me to write this review, to spread the word of this great Bible).

I love using this Bible! It has a nice feel to it while holding and I like the way it is organized with the Bible Timeline Chart. It has made my Bible study so much more enriching.

Acension Presents: An absolutely beautiful Bible. I cannot recommend this enough. A deep royal blue leather bound Bible that is in depth, colour coded, clear and bold text. It came with two ribbons as bookmarks which is indeed very helpful and a beautiful addition. High glossy full colour maps at the back which is definitely needed if you wish to study deeper. The index of articles is also a great addition. A Bible that is attractive to those of all faiths easy to read, study and understand. It is also worth noting it does lay flat and the spine is strongly held together. The shipping was fast and arrived promptly. Highly recommend the Bible itself and the seller.

Love it! After coming back to Christ, from spending time in the delusional period of leftism, I needed to buy a Bible. What I like is the explanations putting things into context for that time period. And, how each story relates the big picture that God is presenting through his word in the Bible. Having coloured coded sections is great too. I feel the added colour brightens up the book, compared to the dull black and white bibles. It arrived in excellent condition, an enjoy reading, praying with this bible. God bless you.

I received the copy of the Holy Bible today. Amazon pleasantly surprised with an earlier delivery. Its a beautiful copy of the Holy scripture which provides you with a reading plan to aid your journey in reading, meditating and praying with the word of God as your guide.The soft leather cover, the summary and explanation of key themes, references to additional reading material, the words of Jesus in red etc are few of the things which you notice immediately. One area of improvement is the thickness of the paper, it could have been a little more thicker to prevent accidental damage during use. Overall very happy with this copy of the Holy Bible and thank you Amazon for the quick delivery!

This is great in being guided on how to read and understand the Holy Bible
