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

This student edition, intended for use by Catholics during prayer, meditation, and private study, has a 51/2 x 8⅛ format. It is also available in three sacramental offerings (First Communion, Confirmation, and Marriage) as well as in a wide variety of colors, bindings, and price points.
