 | For years I have been looking for a bible like this one-I love it! Feb 17, 2007 |
| I have been looking for a bible like this for a long time. I had a hard time just opening other bibles and just reading them. This bible gives me a guide line because has a daily lectionary. I love the devotional readings from real Catholic women speaking about everyday life. It as section on various interest from angels to trust. I also wanted to study women in the bible which this bible has a special weekend section on every woman in the bible. This book explains their characters, where you can find them in the bible, their sorrows, and their joys along with a prayer. This book also has explainations to the Catholic Traditions as well. This book is great if you want a bible along with a understanding of the Cathloic faith. I have never been a big bible reader but now I have this book I have been reading it daily since I received it. | | | | Fantastic Bible Jan 15, 2007 |

| This bible is very easy to use and follow on a daily basis. It is very easy to find the daily devotions. I would highly recommend this bible to anyone who is interested in a simple, easy to follow daily devotional. It would also benefit a womens bible study group. | | |  | Grew To Like This Book Dec 29, 2006 |
| I am a Catholic woman who was looking for a Biblical devotional for daily use. Obviously hard to find unless one uses Protestant books. I purchased this book, but immediately felt disappointed. I am an at-home, homeschooling, very traditional Catholic woman, and some of the reflections rubbed me the wrong way, or were hard to relate to, because they were so contemporary and did not seem universal enough to apply to my life. They also struck me less as meditations and more as anecdotes. However, after awhile, the book began having an unexpected effect on me which, while different than I expected, was positive nonetheless. While I could not relate to some of the anecdotes or reflections, I did find myself learning more and more about how to apply scripture to my life, beyond the obvious ways the Church has always taught. It was as if, by relating the experiences and thoughts of other women, the book was giving me permission to insert my own story, my own sufferings and struggles and joys, into salvation history. So, while I do not find myself meditating on the given reflections in the way I expected, they DO inspire meditation! A second positive effect is, I find myself obsessively reading scripture out of curiosity as to what the next reflection will be! Three words of caution: First, while some reflections are only a page or two apart, occasionally there are many pages between daily reflections. In that case, one must make a choice of reading many pages, or skip large sections of the Bible to keep pace with the sequence of reflections. Second, there are a few reflections which are questionable in terms of theological accuracy. One example describes Christ's birth as involving pain, blood, and an umbilical cord, which sounds to me like a denial of the Virgin Birth. Another cautions us against allowing our religious rituals to come between us and another person; this can be read in an acceptably orthodox way as advising us not to be too rigid, but could also be read as permission to skip Mass in the name of charity. Third, I am personally not fond of the inclusive-language translation of the NRSV. I realize it is approved by the Church, but sometimes in the awkward effort to use inclusive language, the meaning is diluted or completely altered. For example, sometimes the word "man" is used not simply to refer generically to any human being, but is meant to refer to Adam, either literally or figuratively. Therefore, changing it to "person" or "humankind" loses some of the intended meaning. As does the use of "students" in place of "brothers"; clearly those words are not synonymous. Thankfully, there are footnotes indicating the original words whenever these alterations are used. But these alterations seem unnecessary; I don't know of any woman who has ever been offended by the original language of the Bible, which was, after all, authored by God. Overall, a worthwhile book. I would like to see a somewhat different version for women, perhaps drawing more heavily upon women saints than contemporary authors, and with reflections which are more truly meditative than anecdotal,using a non-incusive-language text. | | | | Women's bible Nov 9, 2006 |
| This has been the best gift I could have given myself. I have since purchased it for other women in my family. | | | Write your own review about Catholic Women's Devotional Bible
