This First Communion Bible: New Testament edition is a beautiful gift. Children will use it now and treasure it for a lifetime.

Most youth Bibles are just teen versions of adult Bibles. Live takes an all-new, teen-centered approach. It includes a wealth of experiences and activities that help teens discover surprising things about God, see God involved in their lives, and express their faith creatively - both in the pages of the Bible and on the tie-in Web site. This is the only youth Bible with content created by teenagers. Art, photos, and other creative forms of self-expression from youth are packed into this Bible as a launching point to drive teens into the Bible. Teens will see how God works in the lives of other teens and be encouraged to express their faith, too. This youth Bible takes “interactive” to an entirely new level. Teenagers who use the LIVE Bible will find: - Student art, student poems, an interactive tie-in Web site, sidebars that spark teen creativity, “Try This” features that encourage teens to live out their faith, and quotes and profiles of famous people of faith. - Creative space to express their thoughts, feelings, or questions by writing right on the pages, doodling, pasting pictures, and more - An invitation to join the community online. Teens are encouraged to visit the Web site revealed inside and post their art, writing, and insights into how God is working in their lives. - Two-color interior (blue/black) - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) Catholic Edition text - the most trusted, accepted, and accurate translation of the Bible on the market, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

There is a growing desire among Catholics to read the Bible and to find inspiration and wisdom for their daily lives. Yet there is no Bible that brings Catholic families and the Bible together. The Catholic Faith and Family Bible will be the first Bible of its kind and will be found throughout the house: at the dinner table as part of family prayer, on the living room coffee table as part of family discussion, in the parents’ bedroom as a source of inspiration and solace, in a teen’s room as a source of learning and guidance. The one place you won’t find this Bible: tucked away in a corner of a remote bookshelf collecting dust. Developed in partnership with the Center for Ministry Development and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Religion Publishers, the leaders in youth and family Catholic curriculum, The Catholic Faith and Family Bible was created to make the Bible easier to read and understand for the everyday Catholic family, helping parents and children grow in faith together. Most importantly, Catholic families will discover God’s relevant message for their life today in the context of both ordinary and extraordinary moments of family living. This message is brought to life through the following distinctive features:Book introductions for each book of the Bible written specifically for Catholic families with helpful tips for parents on sharing Scripture with childrenOver 1,000 Relevant Notes and Reflection Lines to help families apply Scripture to daily livingPresentation pages in the front of the Bible for recording family tree information, sacraments, and other important eventsAn index to guide families to important Bible stories, prayers, teachings, and connections to the Catholic faithMaps to help visualize the Bible landsEasy-to-read 9.5-point type in a two-column design
