“The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.”
—Saint Gregory the Great

Spine
This bible from Tan books/St.Benedict press is superb! I love the transition, the notes and all the extras. The paper and print is excellent as well. Size is perfect. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars has to do with the binding. I am certain it's a glued binding. It started to come apart after about 18 months of daily use. ..however, this is my second purchase because everything else is outstanding.

Douala-Rheims Catholic Bible
Beautiful bible. Love the Burgundy color The print is easy to read, and it is a comfort to have in my home. Im gifting one for my brother as well. I believe having Jesuss words in red help to make clear his message clear to us.
