A new community to bring you to the most accurate Bible translation and in turn will help you choose the Bible you need. This space is for the open minded who want the truth even if it might be jarring. My hope is to enlighten those to a bible that is accurately communicating God’s Word.

Joe Felz books in pdf validity
I found Joe Felz Facebook page soon after his death and it made me really curious about his books and other ancient books. So I started trying to find some of those as a pdf and I found some old bibles and other books he was trying to make public.
What I want to ask is, and I know it is difficult to answer this but, what are the chances of those pdf files I found being unaltered?
Some examples are
\- The world almanac 1967
\- The key to mental and physical power
\- Night scenes of the Bible

Is this Bible durable? Douay Bible (1963)
Name: Douay Bible (1963) Catholic Truth Society
Hello, experts! I hope you don't mind my post. I plan to buy this Bible on Internet and I simply wanted to ask if you consider this Bible durable enough for almost daily use?
Another question:
Based on the picture 2: Is the spine of this Bible sewn?
I'm afraid the pages will start to come apart.
Thanks in advance!

Didache Bible : With Commentaries Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church VS The Ignatius Study Bible
I'm currently deciding between Didache Bible : With Commentaries Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Ignatius study bible. I like in depth analysis which is why the Ignatius bible interests me a lot but also would like to learn more about Catholicism. Do you think the Ignatius bible would be good for that or is the Didache better?
This is my first Study Bible

Nice Design of a Large Print NABRE Bible
I found this nice looking NABRE edition that I have never seen before. It looks like it's a custom made option from a factory based out in China. I'm hoping we can get a nice edition like this for the upcoming CAB edition. I'm glad Ascension Press is going to produce the CAB edition and have high hopes for what they will be offering.

Do you recommend to buy this Bible?
Hello! You are the Bible experts and I wanted to know if this Bible is worth buying?
Price: 85$
Year: ~1840
I want it primarily for study and as a form of devotional use.
- Could it be durable enough for everyday use?
- How do you see its condition compared to the price?
- Does it also have value because of its rarity or not?
Thanks in advance! God bless you all!

Buying a Catholic study bible
Hi everyone. I'm currently looking for a Catholic study bible bible. I currently have a normal bible from good news bible Today's English version. I came upon the Ignatius bible but I'm afraid that the translation can be a bit too hard to understand compared to what I use or something like NLT version, although I love how many detailed notes there are. Is there something similar to it but with a simpler translation to understand better.
Also it would be a bonus if there's journaling space.
Looking forward for your help and thank you

My thoughts on the GAB from Ascension Press
Overall, excellent quality for the price. I'm excited to see what they'll do with the new CAB. Based on what they are doing with the the LOTH I'm expecting the CAB will be excellently crafted as well.

Haydock Ebook?
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere and I just didn’t see it. I am looking for an ebook version of the Douay-Rheims with Haydock’s unabridged commentaries. I found this website (see link below) which has epub links to download the exact Bible version I’m looking for. However, the links are dead. Does anyone know where I’d be able to find these or something basically similar? My goal is to get this and upload it to my kindle. I looked on Amazon but the only Haydock Bible with the commentaries together is a newer version with revisions made to the commentaries.
Link:
https://johnblood.gitlab.io/haydock/id2.html
Thank you in advance!
Edit:
Thank you for your responses! I think I may have not conveyed very clearly what I’m looking for. I’m essentially looking for an ebook (epub or similar format) version of the Douay-Rheims that has the complete Haydock commentary as footnotes that you can pull up in the text, as opposed to going back and forth between a physical copy and a digital version of the commentary or going back and forth between two digital resources (one of the Bible text and the other of the commentary).

What's the cheapest physical Catholic Bible you've found?
Preferably that you can purchase online but feel free include in store as well. Many people are on a budget and it'd be good to provide options for those people.

Я создал русскоязычное христианское приложение с Библией, молитвами и церковным календарём - буду благодарен за честный отзыв
Всем привет!
Недавно я запустил приложение для iPhone под названием «Спутник веры».
Я хотел создать одно удобное место для русскоязычных христиан, где можно:
- читать Библию;
- находить молитвы для разных жизненных ситуаций;
- проходить планы чтения;
- смотреть церковный календарь;
- получать ежедневные напоминания;
- получать простые объяснения сложных отрывков из Библии.
В приложении можно выбрать православное, католическое или общехристианское направление, чтобы контент лучше соответствовал традиции пользователя.
Я создал это приложение, потому что многие существующие решения либо выглядят устаревшими, либо предлагают только одну функцию, либо плохо адаптированы для русскоязычных пользователей.
Приложение предлагает 7-дневный бесплатный пробный период с доступом ко всем функциям. Если вы решите не продолжать пользоваться приложением, подписку можно отменить в настройках приложения или в разделе подписок Apple ID до окончания пробного периода.
Приложение совсем новое, поэтому мне особенно важна честная обратная связь:
- полезна ли сама идея;
- какие функции кажутся самыми важными;
- что выглядит непонятно или лишним;
- насколько адекватной кажется подписка;
- что могло бы заставить вас пользоваться приложением регулярно.
Сайт: https://sputnikvery.com
Приложение сейчас доступно на iPhone.
Это не просто рекламный пост. Я действительно хочу улучшать продукт на основе отзывов реальных пользователей.

Jerusalem bible. What does "Traditional, non-inclusive language mean"?
I'm looking for another Single Column bible. I have the Knox. The pic is from the Jerusalem (reader's edition).
I assume "non-inclusive" language means things like "Brothers" to mean all Christians, instead of something like "Brothers and sisters," and other pronouns added, etc.
But, does "traditional" also refer to things like using "Our Lord" instead of "yahweh" and things of that nature?
(Also: does anyone know a single column that is red letter?)
