New Gift edition for baptisms, first communions, confirmation, weddings
Confused about which Bible to choose? Bewildered by all the different choices? Here is a Bible tailor-made for every Catholic. It will lead you through the exact same English texts that the Church uses at each Mass, with brand-new notes and introductions edited by Vatican expert Dom Henry Wansbrough OSB.
CTS has created four carefully thought-out editions to suit every need and budget. This is the deluxe leather-bound edition with gold page edging, especially suited for gifts, e.g. first communion, confirmation. Includes one Adhesive Presentation Label for attaching inside if desired.
