Their situations and circumstances may be different than ours, but their longings, fears, hopes and dreams are eternal and universal. Use these uniquely inspirational inserts to explore the Bible like never before. Perfect for individual or group study.

Not only will reading Scripture daily enrich and nourish your soul but it will also provide you with solid answers to many of life's most urgent questions.--from the Introduction

If you are less than familiar with the Bible, you might be surprised at what you'll find there. Is drinking alcohol a sin? Do Christians have an absolute assurance of salvation? Is the rosary really a biblical prayer? And what's up with the Rapture? Patrick Madrid leads the reader on an investigation of what Scripture has to say about these and many other topics, revealing, in the process, the biblical roots of much Catholic teaching.

Does the Bible Really Say That? is a lively and practical guide that provides answers to issues faced by Catholics everywhere.

The Saint Mary's Press® Essential Bible Dictionary offers concise definitions for the essential people, places, events, and themes of the Holy Scriptures. This resource is designed to help young people and others to deepen their understanding of the words and themes found in the Word of God. The dictionary includes enough information for a deeper understanding, but not so much that readers feel overwhelmed. Words and spellings come from the New American Bible and the New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition translations, the most commonly used translations for Catholic Bibles in the United States.

This book is a popular introduction to each of the 73 books of the Bible designed to help the reader grow in the knowledge and love of God's Word.  The introduction to each book includes the time frame and author, the theme, a summary of the contents and some comments about the context in which it was written, the theology of the book, an outline, and a prayer taken from the book.  By giving this concise introduction to each book of the Bible, Fr. Baker provides quick access to essential information the daily or occasional reader of sacred scripture should find helpful. In addition to being directed to readers of the Bible who are not experts, the book may also be of help to more advanced students who wish to refresh their memory of a particular book of the Bible.  By carefully reading Inside the Bible one can have a thumbnail summary of each book of the Bible at his fingertips. "Many Catholics revere the Bible without reading it.  They recognize it as the Word of God, but they hesitate to open its pages.  They find themselves paralyzed, not knowing where to start reading, confused by ancient modes of writing, unsure of interpretations.  Fr. Kenneth Baker comes to the rescue.  In brief synopses of the 73 books he guides new readers through the threshold and shows them how they can move forward on their own.  Inside the Bible will transform almost-readers into avid readers of the sacred text." - Karl Keating, Author, What Catholics Really Believe Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J., is the well-known editor of Homiletic and Pastoral Review, the premiere magazine for clergy and laity interested in pastoral issues for today's Church.  He is also the author of Fundamentals of Catholicism, a three volume series on the Catholic faith.
