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 want
-
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.

— 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
2020”) — 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.
