highly recommended

Great for adults!

I am 34 years old and this book was recommended to me by my Mother-In-Law 50+ and another friend 50+. So I highly recommend this Bible for any age. Makes the Bible so easy to understand...I love it!
Nevermind the review below it is obviously from an Evangelical Protestant type Christian, that kind of thinking is what turned me away from Christianity 15 years ago. Thank God I found the Catholic Church-Christ's True Church and my life has changed...what an eye opener. So many good 'Bible Christian Protestants' think that their way is the true way, but how can one honestly believe this when so many Protestant religions totally disagree on scripture passages?
They interpret the Bible however they want to? They take 5 verses from the Bible and start a Church! Then this kind of thinking leads to cult types religions based on Christ (Mormons, Jehovah's, David Koresh, etc.)Protestantism leans too much on mere traditions of men (every denomination stems from one Founder's vision. As soon as two or more of these contradict each other, error is necessarily present).
If one would just be open and pray, one would most definitely come Home to the One, True Church...the church Jesus HIMSELF started...The Catholic Church...not some church started by a man in the 1500's!

Really good Bible!

I'm a student at a Catholic School and we use the Catholic Youth Bible as our text book in Religion class. It's a good book that includes all the footnotes from the New American Bible. It has information on the various writers of each book, footnotes that make the Bible much more easy to understand and a section in the back with good pictures of holy places and things like that. The footnotes about different cultural religious beliefs are kind of stupid because they have little to do with Catholicism or the Bible. I reccomend it to children and adults who need a better understanding of the Bible from a Catholic point of view.

The Catholic Youth Bible

For young Catholics, this is one of the easiest to read Bibles published today. I distributed several to my students who had no interest in the Bible as well as to my grandchildren. The feedback has been: It's so easy to read and understand! Further, I would highly recommend this Bible for adults who have problems reading and/or understanding the more adult Bibles. It is my opinion no one can be misled in this review as to how valuable this Bible is to have in one's home.

Excellent multicultural connections

I just wanted to say that for me one of the things that really makes this Bible stand out is how it shows the similarities other cultures and religions have found in their quest for the truth. It points out beautiful beliefs and ideas from Asia, Native America, Africa etc. I think this is wonderful because it helps Christians relate to people who may not share exactly the same beliefs but essentially esteem the same values. I think it's important for us to remember when trying to spread the Gospel that Jesus didn't preach to people without first sparking their interest in a subtle way wether through actions or comforting words. In today's world beliefs can be a cause of separation but LOVE is the universal language that all religions worthy of the name can understand. I was given this Bible as a gift and had been thinking of getting a Douay/Jerusalem Bible, but I kept this one particularly for the Multicultural links and the other notes as well.
