Theophrastus said...: How about your "first look" at the NOAB4?

-------------------

Do you still believe about the NJB that "this one Bible has the best collection of Bible study tools and page lay-out in any one volume Catholic Bible currently available"?; March 11, 2014 at 8:53 AM

Unknown said...: +1 what Mike7up said. Would love to see someone's thoughts on the Orthodox Study Bible.

Tim-how would you rank the Catholic study Bibles? CSB, CSBPE, LRCSB, NOAB, NJB, JB, +others; April 28, 2014 at 11:17 AM

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
