Wedding & Family Bibles

Long a tradition in many American families and homes, a Family Bible is an heirloom-quality volume, usually with large, readable text, colorful illustrations, and pages to record significant family events, such as baptisms and marriages, and of course in the Catholic family, First Holy Communions, Confirmations, ordinations, religious vows, and deaths.

While often seen as a treasured item, the Family Bible's true value should not be in its appearance or finery, but in the frequency of its use to draw the Catholic family closer to each other and Sacred Scripture. To that end, these Bibles, while beautiful, are also practical and durable, perfect for family prayer or Bible study. 

Generations has many additional options available for Family Bibles in store, so contact us for more information. These Bibles also make excellent wedding gifts!

Always a popular option, the St. Joseph Edition of the New American Bible, by Catholic Book Publishing, comes in several sizes. These include Family size (8.5 x 11 inches), Full size (6.5 x 9.25 inches), Medium size (5.5 x 8.25 inches), and Personal size (4.5 x 6.5 inches). These sizes only concern the physical size of the Bible, not the size of the text, which is noted separately. Regardless of size, each St. Joseph Edition Bible is the complete Catholic Bible, with both Old and New Testaments.
