A Bible to mark the most precious beginning - the official Catholic liturgical text, beautifully presented in a white hardback with silver foil, Skylar White's stunning illustrations, and a protective slipcase to keep it safe for a lifetime.

The ESV-CE is approved by the Catholic Bishops' Conferences of England, Wales and Scotland for use at Mass from Advent 2024. Created by a team of over 100 leading scholars, this essentially literal, fully Anglicised translation renders the original Hebrew and Greek with precision and clarity. With the deuterocanonical books included in their canonical Catholic order, this is the complete Catholic Bible - given at the very start of a faith journey.

Sixteen full-colour plates of authentic, beautifully crafted illustrations by artist Skylar White bring the most beloved stories of scripture to life, drawing young readers into God's Word from their earliest years. A personalised dedication page means this Bible can be inscribed with the child's name, the date, and a message of love - making it a keepsake as well as a scripture.
