  • Such a great way to read the Bible

    I’ve never been through the entire bible and the thought of opening it at genesis and reading to the end is daunting. So this instantly appealed to me. I’m currently on day 322 and will probably repeat it as soon as I’m done. I have learned so much. Fr. Mike is such a great teacher. This is a gift straight from heaven.

    Thank you sooo much Fr Mike your enthusiasm is inspiring. I especially love the historical explanations by Jeff Cavins. I’ve just listened to the divided kingdom and how blessed Catholics are to have the Mass. Thank you Jeff for mentioning your own journey because I too have swayed but ... more

  • Thank you!

    Long story short I found and started The Bible in a year on what we call “Black Friday” in the commercial world. I started my second round August 10th. This is so well done to help understand and with such compassion. Highly recommend for anyone who does not believe, has questions or even those who know the Book. Fr Mike and Jeff - I thank you.
