{"product_id":"escobar-catholic-bible-study-companion","title":"Catholic Bible Study Companion","description":"Is there a bookmark in your Bible that has not moved in months?\nMost Catholics were taught the faith without being taught the Book. Catechism covered doctrine, Mass gave us the readings in fragments, and no one handed us a map from Genesis to Revelation. So we bought a Bible, maybe started a podcast, and stalled a few weeks in. For many of us, the stall came somewhere in Leviticus.\nThat is not a personal failing. What was missing was never effort. It was a clear, authentically Catholic guide that respects your time and your intelligence.\nCatholic Bible Study Companion covers all 73 books in canonical order, including the seven deuterocanonical books many study guides leave out, and was written to stay faithful to the Catechism and the Magisterium on every page.\nInside Catholic Bible Study Companion, you will discover:\nThe whole story at last: how 73 books tell one story of creation, covenant, and redemption, so the readings at Mass stop arriving as fragments.\n31 black and white illustrations that teach, not decorate: maps of Abraham's journey and Paul's travels, family trees, a floor plan of Solomon's Temple, and side by side panels that show how the Passover and the manna point to Christ and the Eucharist.\nConfidence with any book, from Obadiah to Philemon: where it sits in salvation history, how the Church reads it, and where you hear it at Mass.\nOne page per book, about ten minutes a day: what each book is, who wrote it and when, and its key themes in plain language, at a pace that fits your morning coffee.\nThe one sentence answer to \"Why does your Bible have seven more books?\" that you can share calmly with anyone who asks.\nThe ten eras that give every book a place to sit, laid out on a single illustrated timeline you will want to keep bookmarked.\nA simple four step session shape and a reflection question closing every chapter, to help you lead a Catholic Bible study group or OCIA class without pretending to be a scholar.\nShort does not mean shallow. Each page is written for adults who have practised the faith for years, not as a children's summary, so you get the substance without the wall of footnotes that makes a study Bible so hard to finish.\nMany Bible plans assume you have an hour a day. Real life, with work, family, and parish commitments, offers maybe ten minutes on a good morning. This companion was built for the life you actually have: one page, three paces to choose from, a 73 box checklist to mark your progress, and a missed day you simply pick up again, without guilt.\nPicture next Sunday. The first reading begins, and instead of drifting, you know where that book sits in God's plan. Whether you are a cradle Catholic, returning after years away, or preparing for OCIA, you can see Scripture as one connected story. No Greek, Hebrew, or theology degree required.\nIf you are ready to see all 73 books as one connected story, one page at a time, scroll up and grab your copy today.\n\u003ch3 class=\"additional-product-info-title\"\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"additional-product-info\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"responsive-table\"\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAuthor\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCarlos Escobar\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eISBN \/ Code\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e9798178194195\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePages \/ Minutes\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e111\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCarlos Escobar\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carlos Escobar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50772464238690,"sku":"9798178194195","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/9770\/3010\/files\/escobar-catholic-bible-study-companion-2048_bc6d090f-2807-48d8-8090-1314242ea828.jpg?v=1793079327","url":"https:\/\/cardinal-newman-aus.myshopify.com\/products\/escobar-catholic-bible-study-companion","provider":"Cardinal Newman Faith Resources Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
