Bible in a Year – ESV Catholic Edition – Tree of Life

Such a wonderful Bible! I love that all you have to do is pick it up and just follow the dates. The reflection section is great to really think about the readings and how it applies to your own life.

If you need a great way to read the Bible in a year, this is a way to accomplish this goal.

With this you do not read the Bible in order but it’s very helpful to break it down

This is exactly what I wanted, not the Bible in a Year by Fr. Mike Schmitz.

I had checked out other Catholic Bibles in a Year books, but this one is far better than the others. I love that you have an Old Testament, Psalms & New Testament readings. Plus there is a wonderful Reflection at the end that explains the scripture as well as gives you thought provoking suggestions/questions to help you incorporate the readings into your daily life. I have had no problem reading the print and the pages are a bit thin, but it is of not a problem at all. This would be a wonderful Christmas gift that would be perfect for the New Year! Love it!!!

Great chronological bible. Reasonably priced

I received the book with the cover and the first few pages bent at the corner. Okay, that was probably shipping damage, although the shipping was a plastic wrap of the book. BUT, the last two pages are creased top to bottom, which I believe was manufacturing, and no one inspected the book before sending it to a customer. I would ask for a replacement as this book is a lifetime purchase, not just a coffee table tomb. But I want to start the reading and it isn't damaged as far as I cannot use it. Just be aware that the $20 saved in not buying the leather-bound bible, may or may not be a deal. I bought a leather one which I gave away. It came intact. It was a gift. The printing maybe smaller in the paperback also.

Each page gives the reader a passage from the Old Testament, Psalms, and one from the New Testament. It makes the Bible easy to read, and the daily passages are followed by a reflection on the readings. More often than not, they clarify and explain more clearly what was read. Reading approximately four pages a day guarantees that you will have read the entire Bible in one year. It's such a nice way to get to know the Bible. I'm on my second time around and am enjoying it just as much as the first time...and actually getting more out of it this time because it's more familiar and I'm understanding it so much better.
