The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.”
—Saint Gregory the Great

Leather Douay-Rheims Bible
This is a great bible. It’s the perfect size. The leather it’s made of is just the right thickness. The gold gilded edges are great looking. There is a little bleed through, but it is not enough to affect your reading. The print is dark and clear. I see no printing errors. I love it. I’m very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this to anyone.

Bible
Very nice. Glad to have this translation. It has renewed reading the Gospel for me. And has taught me new insights in the preaching of Jesus and the stories written by the Apostles. And I am a fan of the “old school” style of speech. It makes it seem more epic, reverent, and cool. I would highly recommend that all Catholics have a copy of this Dhouy Rheims for reference when studying and praying with scripture. And I would highly recommend priests get a copy to compare with NAB when preparing homilies.

A Beautiful Bible
This is my nicest bible. Gilt edges on the pages are nice. The more traditional language of the Douey-Rhiems version enhances my studies and worship. This Bible will be passed down to my heirs.

Very Satisfied
Nicely bound, flexible cover so the book lays flat in your hand. All pages I’ve read so far are well struck edge to edge with no faded text. If you are looking for the first Latin to English transliteration of the Holy Bible, with minimal translator interpretation, this is it.

Douay Rheims Bible
What a blessing to have the Douay Rheims in a lightweight leather bound cover. It has made it easier to read the Bible everyday. My only issue is that it does not have the red lettering for the voice of God. Being a revert, and this being the first time reading the Bible, it would have helped me. Otherwise, 5 Big Stars! I love it. ??❤️
