“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

Beautiful Bibles!
I purchased two of these Bibles for my two teenage sons and they are gorgeous and well-made. I plan to buy them for my other children when the occasion arises.

Met All Expectations
The Ultrasoft Leatherette Douay-Rheims Bible looks and feels like leather. The embossing on the spine and front cover is striking. But most importantly, this Bible is a pleasure to read. The antique colored pages are easy on the eyes, as compared to a stark white page. All works spoken by Jesus are in red, which is very nice. My only criticism: I would have liked to have more than one ribbon marker. Aside from that, it is an excellent Bible for anyone looking for a daily reader.
