The Catholic Children's Bible: Good News Translation

Product Information

The following four translations of the Bible are all approved for Catholic use and are among the most commonly used translations. This ranks as our favorite Catholic children’s Bible. Although its title implies that it is a collection of Bible stories, I find this to be a much more thorough and complete presentation of Scripture than other smaller collections of Bible stories (see more on those below).

Catholic Children’s Bible - SPCK ESV-CE Bibles - SPCK Publishing

When you first start living the liturgical year at home and teaching your children the bible stories, all the book recommendations out there can be really overwhelming! You can read one blog post that might recommend dozens of picture books about the Easter story alone! This is an excellent resource for Catholic kids everywhere. I’m very glad that someone came out with a child friendly Bible for Catholic kids!

Journaling Bibles- Great For Teens!

Lydia loves this Bible. She got if as a present for making her First Reconciliation. She’s loved it from the beginning, and reads it on her own. It is written in a very engaging narrative style. It’s the closest style I’ve found to The Jesus Storybook Bible (more on that below).

Bible Genesis 1 ICB - The Beginning of the World - In the - Bible

Because this book is written by a Catholic author, you don’t have to worry about the perspective that the stories are told from. Then God said, “Let there be something to divide the water in two!” 7 So God made the air to divide the water in two. Some of the water was above the air, and some of the water was below it. 8 God named the air “sky.” Evening passed, and morning came. This was the second day. It is long and includes a lot of bible stories that typical children’s bibles don’t include, which is nice. The stories are worded weird, it doesn’t include important bible points, and the stories are lengthy in a bad way- honestly seeming full of fluff. Worse than that some of the ways the stories are told actually bother me from a theological perspective. In an attempt to make it accessible for children, I believe they dummed it down way too far.Lydia loves having a journlaing bible and has had one since she was about 10. I got Julian one when he was younger (May age 8?) and he didn’t use his much, but he’s also not really the artistic type.
