The beloved Catholic Bible gets an update with popular Bible in a Year podcast reading plan, color-coded Catechism references, 32 new footnotes, and redesigned maps.
Hundreds of thousands of Catholics have purchased The Great Adventure Catholic Bible, the only Bible with Jeff Cavins’ color-coded Bible Timeline® Learning System integrated within the words of Scripture. For years, Catholics have loved “the Bible that teaches you how to read it”—the same Bible used by host Fr. Mike Schmitz in his phenomenally popular podcast, The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)™, which reached #1 on Apple Podcasts two years in a row and is the most successful Catholic podcast of all time.
Ascension has announced that this holiday season will usher in a second edition of the best-selling Bible, while all-new “Notetaking” and “Premium” versions also join the popular product line. Starting this Black Friday, Catholics will be able to choose from several versions of The Great Adventure Catholic Bible, Second Edition:
- [NEW!] Premium version—with a beautiful brown goatskin leather cover and gilt edges that give these life-changing features an unparalleled premium feel
- [NEW!] Notetaking version—with generous note taking space in the margins
- Alpha cowhide version—the classic version loved around the world since 2018, now in its second edition
- Paperback version—a more economical option for parishes, schools, and Bible studies
- Large Print version—featuring 11.25pt font that’s easier on the eyes, now enveloped in an Alpha cowhide cover
The Great Adventure Catholic Bible, Second Edition marks Ascension’s first addition of new features to the most popular Catholic Bible in the United States. All versions will now include The Bible in a Year reading plan, color-coded Catechism references based on the exclusive Foundations of Faith approach, thirty-two new footnotes, and redesigned full-color maps, in addition to the beloved features found in the original edition.
Ascension’s President and CEO Jonathan Strate expressed his excitement about the product line additions:
“We have watched hundreds of thousands of people be transformed by this one-of-a-kind Bible. Seeing the impact that it has had, especially through The Bible in a Year podcast, we knew that we had to keep building out the offerings of this product line. The second edition of The Great Adventure Catholic Bible is our answer to customer requests for additional versions and even more color-coded features.”
The Great Adventure Catholic Bible, Second Edition will begin preordering on November 29, 2024.
