An ideal addition to the line of St. Joseph New Catholic Bible (NCB) offerings—and the perfect First Communion gift—the Personal Size Edition provides this fresh, faithful, and reader-friendly Bible translation in a convenient size. An important quality of its extensive and insightful footnotes is their distinctly pastoral tone.

This Personal Size Edition, intended for use by Catholics during daily prayer, as well as in private and group study, has a 5½ x 8⅛ format. It is available in two other sacramental offerings (Confirmation and Marriage) as well as in a wide variety of colors, bindings, and price points.
