I am trying to think of the last time I waited so excitedly for a chance to sit down and read the Bible.

That's because my new Word on Fire Bibles arrived. We got the evangelization pack which had one leather-bound version and 4 paperback copies.

As soon as the box was opened we all began excitedly showing each other various features.

It is above and beyond anything I could have asked for myself. I mean to say, they designed a typeface for the pull-quotes. That is my kind of commitment to beauty.

Even the paperback is really great, which is what I'd expect but I was curious to see for myself. The pages are high quality paper, the gold type is there just as in the leather version. I was wondering if it would stay open in your hand without forcing the spine — and it does!

I've dipped in a little here and there and the commentary is as good as the design and thought provoking yet accessible.

It truly is, as they said when it was announced, a cathedral in print. Thank you, Bishop Barron!

They are sold out but are taking orders for the reprint. Here's the video in case you missed it before.
