Tyndale NLT Inspire Catholic Bible (Hardcover, Rose Gold): Catholic Coloring Bible–Over 450 Illustrations to Color and Creative Journaling Bible Space, Religious Gifts That Inspire Connection with God Imitation Leather – Illustrated, November 6, 2018

I’ve been looking for a catholic Bible, this is perfect! I was hesitant because of the translation in NLT but they were very clear and precise why they use it and what they changed! I was shocked it wasn’t as a big deal as I thought it was. I love my KJV, NKJV,ESV,CSB- etc (I know I have a lot of Bibles) but this was an amazing addition! The beautiful artwork and journaling make it super exciting to use! The clear visuals and easy to read material are put in everyday words using everyday vocabulary. They didn’t veer too far off from the original text- which I love. And any changes they made seem to be minor in comparison. I actually love reading this as a standalone or as a study guide when I’m stuck on something with my KJV. Coloring this has been so much fun! The beautiful pages are filled with hundred of coloring fun! The side of the Bible has beautiful flowers on the side; and the front is made with Rose gold material to give you a shiny classy finish. I’m highly impressed ! It would be cool to see as a KJV but I already have one so it worked out perfectly! And the pages are think to where I am able to use gel pens without bleeding through- I use jelly Sakura pens. And they are also thick enough for acrylic markers, color pencils and water colors! I’m able to use a wide range of artistic tools on this.

I thought i wasnt going to like it cuz it seemed very kid-ish but its fine and i like the notes space on the sides. Good quality!

This Bible is beautiful. I love the fact that I can highlight and write notes to myself and it NOT go into next page. I wouldn’t use markers to color the preprinted journal entries, I feel it would bleed through the page. I have been using it daily.

I purchased this for my niece's confirmation gift, along with some colored pencils for her to use in the future. It's not easy to find creative ways to engage young people in the Word. This is ideal for craft lovers and artists. I colored the dedication page to her, just to put a little of my heart into it. I'm never sure if teenagers will understand such gestures. She was so excited when she saw it that ran out to show her parents. It's something she will enjoy for years to come.

My granddaughter who is 15yrs asked for a bible on her Christmas wish list. I came across a different set up in a spiral format, but as I did more research found out the spiral format would be too many books to collect for the complete bible. I continued my research and came across this format of a bible, read the reviews, watched the videos and was taken by the beautiful layout of designs for coloring, the side margins for note taking and the beautiful art on the page spine. Once my granddaughter opened her gift, she was just so surprised on how beautiful of a bible we found for her.

My 13 year old asked me for a bible as she wanted to read it every day, I purchase this bible for her and the way it’s made omg I am impressed as it got her reading every day and she’s able to color in it and take notes I would definitely be getting this as a gift

I really pored over pages and descriptions of all the INSPIRE Bibles by Tyndale. Ultimately, being Catholic, I went with one of the few Catholic choices so that the extra books would be included. I love the floral and butterfly images on the page edges. It's really a beautiful, quality Bible I will always cherish.The main issues are:1.) the paper is too thin for anything but colored pencil. Watercolors, gel pens, anything but colored pencil-- forget it. Some have mentioned coating pages with gesso; I know nothing about that but it sounds more labor-intensive than what I was looking for in a coloring/journaling Bible!2.) in some of the other editions I looked at, it seemed there were more full-page pictures, and more images to color as opposed to text. In this edition, most of the coloring pages are embellished text. I would have liked more pictures along with (or sometimes, instead of) the text. It gets a little boring mostly coloring words and letters, and most of them are in the margins, with only a small handful that are larger.The other obvious issue is the translation. I take off no stars for that because I had the opportunity to check out the translation before buying, and while it's not my favorite, for the most part I actually like the contemporary style. But there are occasions when it doesn't work. For example, in Psalm 23, I'm accustomed to: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." This translation says: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I have all I need." Those convey two very different feelings. For one thing, they are different tenses. "I have all I need" is present tense. It doesn't reassure me that I will always be provided for. "I shall not want" conveys more of a sense that, now and forevermore, the Lord will never leave me wanting. I will always be provided for, now AND in the future. That's just one example, but it's important. So check out your favorite passages before buying to see how you like the translation.I give it 5 stars for quality, beauty, and a great price. But it could be more artist-friendly, with sturdier paper and more variety of pictures.

This Bible is breathtaking! It also has plenty of space to write notes! My daughters all love it and they are different ages with different needs. It’s inspired them to spend more time with the word of God. I love that we finally have a Catholic option!
