A gift that lasts a lifetime
Confirmation, RCIA, a birthday, a grandchild, Christmas. Keep one for yourself and give one to someone who is still figuring out where to start.
Made for your whole Catholic Bible.
Most Bible guides cover only 66 books, so Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch and 1 & 2 Maccabees are simply missing. This one covers all 73, and tells you exactly what it is before you order: a companion to read beside your Bible, not a replacement for it.
You hear Scripture every Sunday.
Nobody handed you the map.
Now you have one.
Most Catholics were never taught how to read the Bible. So the Old Testament feels like a wall, Leviticus is where good intentions stop, and a simple question from a grandchild or a friend can leave you stumbling. This guide gives you one clear starting point for every book: who wrote it, what was happening, and what it means for your faith. Read a little, then open your Bible and it finally makes sense.
You have heard these readings your whole life. Now you can understand them.
Every Sunday you hear the Old Testament, a Psalm, a letter and the Gospel. You nod along, and by the time you reach the car, half of it has slipped away.
That does not mean you are behind. It means nobody ever gave you a simple map. The Catholic Bible Companion gives you that map, one book at a time, across all 73 books of your Bible.
Context First. Then the Book.
Three simple steps for every book of the Bible. Read a little, understand a lot, and keep going.
Open to the book you need
Look up the book you are about to read, or the one you just heard at Mass. Every one of the 73 books has its own place.
Read the context first
See who wrote it, when, and why. Then the main story or message, in clear everyday language. No theology degree, no footnotes to chase.
Open your Bible and it makes sense
Go back to the text knowing what you are looking at. The Sunday reading lands differently, and you can speak about it with confidence.

Before you buy, here is what matters
The seven books they left out
Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch and 1 & 2 Maccabees are in your Bible and missing from most guides. Each one is covered here.
Written for Catholics
Every page is written around the Catholic Bible and the way the Church reads it, not a Protestant guide with a crucifix added to the cover.
A companion, not a replacement
This book sits beside the Bible you already own. Use any Catholic translation. It gives you the context, and your Bible gives you the text.
Fast dispatch and real support
Orders are dispatched within 24–48 hours with tracking. If something goes wrong, you can contact a real person. Damaged copy? We will replace it.

Hear It From Them
Bought three more for my family
I bought one for myself, then three more for my family. My sister and I only then learned that the Catholic Bible has more books than our neighbor’s. We wish we’d known sooner.
Finally started Romans
I had been putting off reading Romans because I thought I needed to understand everything before starting. The overview gave me enough background to open my Bible and begin. I still have questions, but at least I know what I’m reading about.
Easy to dip into
Just opened it and had a quick look through. I like that it gets straight to the point. I bought it to keep next to my Bible, so being able to turn straight to the book I need makes sense for me.
Reading at my own pace
Mine already has a couple of sticky notes in it. The short sections make it easy to mark something I want to come back to. I’m reading slowly, and this fits that better than giving myself a whole study schedule.
Your first thirty days
You do not need an hour a day. Start with a few minutes and build from there.
Day 1
Start with this Sunday's Gospel
Look up the book behind this week's reading. Read the page, then open your Bible. Watch how much more you catch.
Sometimes the first step is simply understanding what you already hear at Mass.
Week 1
Get past Leviticus
Pick the book that has always stopped you and read its overview before you begin. Knowing what you are looking at changes everything.
A few minutes a day is enough to build a rhythm you can keep.
Month 1
Discover the books you never knew
Explore Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach and the Maccabees, the books that many guides skip entirely.
The goal is not to rush through the book. It is to understand a little more each time you open it.
Every Sunday
Be ready when they ask
When a child, grandchild or friend asks about your faith, you will have something to say.
You do not need all the answers. You just need a place to start, and now you have one.

Questions you may have
Clear answers before you order.
Is this a Bible?
+
No. It is a companion guide to read beside the Bible you already own. It gives you the context for each of the 73 books, but it does not contain the full biblical text.
Is this actually Catholic?
+
Yes. It is built around the 73-book Catholic canon, including the seven deuterocanonical books that Protestant Bibles and most Bible guides leave out: Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch and 1 & 2 Maccabees.
Is this an official Church publication?
+
It is an independent study companion. It supports your reading and does not replace your Bible, the Catechism, or your parish. Add any ecclesiastical review details for your edition here before publishing.
Do I need to know anything about the Bible already?
+
No. It is written in plain language and assumes no previous study. It suits someone who was never taught Scripture, someone returning to the Church, or a longtime Catholic who wants a clearer map.
Will it work with my Bible?
+
Yes. Use it with any Catholic Bible you own, whichever translation you prefer. Look up the book, read the overview, then go back to your Bible.
How fast does it ship, and can I track it?
+
Orders are dispatched within 24–48 hours, and tracking is emailed when your order leaves us. Typical delivery is 5–9 business days. Confirm these match your real fulfilment times before publishing.
What if it arrives damaged, or isn't right for me?
+
If your copy arrives damaged, send us a photo and we will replace it. If the book is not right for you, email us within 30 days for a full refund.
Is it a good gift?
+
It is one of the most natural gifts for Confirmation, RCIA, a birthday, a grandchild or Christmas. The burgundy and gold cover looks and feels like a keepsake, and the 2- and 3-copy options make it easy to keep one and give one.
