The Catholic Children's Bible: Good News Translation

Product Information

Although the illustrations in this children’s bible are not my favorite, they are very appealing to kids!

Catholic Bible Online - My Catholic Life! The Catholic Bible Online - My Catholic Life!

Telling our children the Story of Salvation History helps them understand God’s movement in the world since the beginning. I believe your children’s bible should have all the quality of any beautiful picture book for children.

With a blue ribbon marker and multi-coloured endpapers, this is a Bible that children will be drawn to and will treasure throughout their journey of faith.

Catholic Children’s Bible: English Standard Version

Let the Word dwell in them richly, forming their consciences and inspiring them to the greatness for which they were created! One thing I noticed doing home VBS this last week is that the Catholic Picture Bible (ours isn’t leather-looking) includes little bits of helpful Catholic theology too, like that Isaac carrying the wood up the hill of sacrifice is a precursor for Jesus, the lamb sent by God, carrying the wood of the cross up his hill of sacrifice. Starting out your liturgical library with a good children’s bible can make all the difference, and today I would like to share some of my favorites with you. When I asked the kids what was so unappealing about this bible, they said the pictures looked old, the stories looked long, the cover looked boring, and that even some of the words on the pages having highlights made it seem even more boring and for classroom use.This belief is not the only view even among Protestants about the atonement, but is particularly common in Calvinistic circles. While the illustration style is not my favorite, the hardcover is sturdy and thus gets brought to Mass with us. It’s the whole Bible, plus explanations, plus cute pictures, plus even more extras, and it’s in a readable sized font. Worse than that some of the ways the stories are told actually bother me from a theological perspective. Hearing the stories of God’s faithfulness from long ago reminds them that He is faithful to them now.
