Kids will read this Bible!
As the faith formation director of a small rural parish, I wear several hats and I recently inaugurated a middle school youth group for our pre-teens. How to get Catholic kids this age to read scripture? How to plan scripture-based programs on timely topics that pre-teens will engage in and that untrained volunteers and kids can lead? This Bible has filled those needs beautifully and then some. Within the Bible are 21 glossy sections, each focused on a timely topic (i.e., anger, peer pressure, responsibility) with scripture references, Church teaching and discussion questions. (The publisher also offers a leader's guide and music CD to enhance each topic session.) The kids love it! And parents tell me that their kids are actually reading their Bibles at home, on their own, without coaxing or prodding! The volunteer leaders love it, too, because they can use the leader's guide and CD to put together a GREAT session for the kids effortlessly. Fireside's given us a wonderful tool!

Fireside Catholic Youth Bible
I am very impressed with this Bible along with the Music CD and Activities Workbook (these activities can be viewed on-line and printed for your use). I love the many themes that are spread throughout the Bible and the Activities Workbook & Music CD. Great for use with teens young and old. The accompanying church teachings along with each theme can even be used with adults who are in the process of becoming Catholic. I highly recommend this product. I was hesitant at first because I've been using the Catholic Youth Bible but this is very user friendly.

Good resource
This is a good, N.A.B. bible, with excellent inserts on Catholic prayers, saints, and traditions. I do find the The N.A.B. translation and footnotes at times difficult and better suited for adults. I wish there was a simpler translation for teens along with inserts that would be more tied into the passages at hand. But overall this is a great resource and comes in an attractive cover.
