About the The Catholic Youth Bible®
Twenty years ago, we discovered that Catholic teens didn’t know how to navigate the Bible. They weren’t familiar with its important people and events, and they did not know how to discover it’s spiritual truths. So in 1999, we created The Catholic Youth Bible, then followed that with Breakthrough! The Bible for Young Catholics and The Catholic Children’s Bible. Together, these Bibles answer the need to make the Bible approachable for every young person, no matter their age.
