“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

Beautifully bound book with gilded
Beautifully bound book with gilded pages. Perfect family Bible. Very happy with purchase. I was specifically looking for a translation closest to original as possible. When Dr. Taylor Marshal indicated Douay Rheims Bible version was the closest I was extremely happy to see that TAN offered this version in a leather bound. The description didn’t indicate that is was black leather, looked dark brown, but still beautiful.

Very nice
Love it! It is the perfect size and I love the feel and the weight. I like the translation very much.The typeface is easy to read though on the smaller size - so if you need ‘large print’ this one may not be suitable. The quality of the cover - feels expensive and the pages are are nice, thin so as not to add to the weight too much. I like to read in bed and the size of the one I replaced was too big and bulky. I would have liked an additional ribbon, but one is fine.
