A
Bible that becomes a Diary
of your Daily, Weekly, and Monthly,
Journey with Christ Jesus
A Holy Bible
that YOU can edit as you wish
-
Edit
it as you like — find
and highlight
important passages that are pertinent to you, and
vital to your life in Christ as you confront daily challenges
to your Holy Catholic Faith.
-
You can
“Find” any word or phrase in the entire Bible with a few
clicks.
-
Highlight what is
important to you in your present life in Christ and His Holy Catholic
Church — passages that may be very important to you today but
which may be off less importance to you tomorrow or next month
in light of experiences, troubles, and difficulties that you may
encounter tomorrow or next month in which case you can “un-highlight”
whatever you had highlighted before — and then highlight something
else.
It is
TEXT that you can
-
This absolutely free
Bible is the Traditional Catholic Douay-Rheims Challoner Version,
used by the Catholic Church for 2000 years.
-
It is
the ENTIRE BIBLE (New Testament). The source of the
original text is found at:
https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1581/pg1581.txt
-
All typographical
errors that occur in the original source have been corrected by
us, inadvertent double-spaces have been eliminated, and formatting
has been made consistent.
-
Archaic
language is retained as in the original (e.g. “hath”,
“endureth”, etc.) — which, if you wish to change to contemporary
English (“has”, “endures”) — simply requires a “Find and Replace”
(such as “Find what:” endureth and “Replace
with” endures) and Microsoft Word with
the “Only Change whole word” checked, will change every instance
of it in the entire document. Don’t like “hath”? Change it to “has”.
Very simple: Open the Bible and choose Replace from
the to top right menu:
Be sure to put a check in the boxes “Find
whole words only” first ... and then
“Replace all”
— if you do not use “Find whole words only”,
you will change every word in the Bible that has
“hath” somewhere in it the word, like “path” — with
some very bizarre results. But do not worry: if you find
that you have done that before you “Save” the file, hit the “undo
typing”
button on the top left of your menu bar and all will be back to
where is was before the blunder!
-
It is
TOTALLY YOUR BIBLE! That is to say, while it is the
original, authentic, and authoritative translation begun in 1610
at the English College at Douay, France — you can mark it up
AS YOU CHOOSE — and then return to the original before you edited
it. (after all, it is GOD’S HOLY WORD)!
The possibilities are endless: delete entire books you find unnecessary
(e.g. one of the Gospels, or one of the Epistles) or just entire
chapters, or verses, keeping only a compact version that is
vital to you alone.
THIS BIBLE HAS:
-
NO distracting references
-
NO comments or commentaries
NO graphics (except one on the first page — and you can delete
it if you don’t like it.
-
Just
TEXT (the font by
default is Times New Roman 14 black — but you can select the entire
Bible and choose to use another
Font,
Font Size, or even Font Color)
You can
“Find” any word or phrase in the entire Bible with a few
clicks.

IMPORTANT — IMPORTANT — IMPORTANT!!!
— FIRST MAKE A COPY of the original downloaded file and keep
it safe somewhere.
You can always
make another copy of the ORIGINAL (just RIGHT-click on the original
and choose "copy” and paste it on your desktop and save it, we suggest,
with the date appended to the copied file (e.g. “The Four Gospels
- December 29 2021”) — in other words, with the DATE
you made the copy so that the original “Holy Bible” will remain
unchanged and can simply be copied and pasted into a blank document
that you will name with another date, as your journey with Christ
leads you down new and unexpected paths which will lead you with the
Holy Angels and Company of Martyrs to Heaven.
