Reviews
"The New Catholic Bible for Youth is a welcome addition to any Catholic family's library. As a moral theologian, I find its inserts addressing the most pressing issues of our young people today in both an approachable and informative manner. This accomplishes the herculean task of speaking the truth in love in a meaningful yet brief way. Its references form an invitation to a deeper encounter with the Word of God, who is Jesus Christ and His Church. As a Catholic father, I deeply value its interweaving of the wisdom of the saints, images, and relevant topics in such a manner that my kids will look here for answers."Justin M Anderson, Ph.D.Associate Professor & Chair of Moral TheologyImmaculate Conception Seminary/School of TheologySeton Hall University

"A valuable Bible for youth that delivers the truth of our faith in a way that's relevant to young people. A sourcebook, based on the sources of the Catholic faith, it invites reflection and deep thinking, a path to spiritual growth and inner renewal."Ines Angeli Murzaku, PhDProfessor of Religion, Chair and Director of Catholic Studies Department and ProgramSeton Hall University
"I have enjoyed reading this through the lens of a Catholic communicator and former youth and campus minister."Your inserts invite the young reader (and the not-so-young reader) to truly understand what the Word of God means for each of us, a life made new for all eternity. By understanding our goal, you have given us a gift that walks our salvific history through real-life topics, especially ones we tend to never discuss in the young Church, including forgiveness, mental health, and sexuality."As a Catholic communicator, I find the words of encouragement from the saints, the teachings of the Church, and the reflections on encountering God to be short and sweet while giving an excellent opportunity for profound reflection. Letting the Spirit flow in your words allows Him to enter the discussion while challenging the reader to understand what they may not fully believe."The walk of these inserts as a spiritual guide builds significant trust between the writer and reader – a key to our call in the work of evangelization."Our Church has truly been blessed by your witness and sacrifice, especially in the walk with the young Church."Gerald Wutkowski, Jr.Assistant DirectorOffice of Communications and Public RelationsDiocese of Metuchen
