The New Catholic Picture Bible
The New Catholic Picture Bible is one of Catholic Book Publishing Company's most enduring and beloved introductions to Sacred Scripture for children and families. Written by Rev. Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D., this beautifully illustrated hardcover volume presents the major stories of the Old and New Testaments in clear, engaging language that helps young readers understand the flow of salvation history. Its combination of vivid artwork, faithful storytelling, and durable construction has made it a staple in Catholic homes, schools, and parish programs for generations.
The book is designed to make Scripture accessible to children without sacrificing reverence or accuracy. Each story is carefully adapted to preserve the essential biblical message while presenting it in a way that is easy for young readers to follow. The language is simple yet dignified, allowing children to encounter the truths of the faith with clarity and wonder. Parents and teachers will appreciate how the stories naturally lead to conversations about God's love, moral choices, and the meaning of Christian discipleship.
One of the defining features of The New Catholic Picture Bible is its full-color artwork. Every illustration is crafted to capture the drama, beauty, and emotion of the biblical narrative. These images help children visualize the world of Scripture--Noah building the ark, Moses receiving the Commandments, David facing Goliath, the angel appearing to Mary, Jesus teaching the crowds, and the apostles spreading the Gospel. The artwork not only enhances comprehension but also invites children into a deeper sense of awe and devotion.
The book covers a wide range of biblical events, offering a balanced selection of stories that highlight God's covenant, His faithfulness, and His saving work through Jesus Christ. The Old Testament section introduces foundational moments such as Creation, the Patriarchs, the Exodus, and the Kings and Prophets. The New Testament section focuses on the life of Christ--His birth, ministry, miracles, passion, death, and resurrection--followed by stories from the early Church. Together, these stories provide children with a solid understanding of the Bible's central themes.
Physically, the book is designed for long-term use. The sturdy hardcover binding protects the pages and illustrations, making it suitable for daily reading, classroom use, or parish instruction. Its size and layout are ideal for children, with large type and clear formatting that make reading comfortable and enjoyable. The book's durability also makes it an excellent gift for sacraments such as Baptism, First Communion, or Confirmation.
Ultimately, The New Catholic Picture Bible is more than a children's book--it is a gateway to the living Word of God. It helps young readers develop a love for Scripture, fosters family prayer, and supports catechists in teaching the faith with clarity and joy. With its timeless illustrations and faithful storytelling, it remains one of the most trusted Catholic picture Bibles available today.
