Douay-Rheims Haydock Bible

“The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.”
— Pope St. Gregory the Great

 

Those who are not familiar with this indispensable Bible will be pleased to learn that it is an exact photographic reprint of the 1883 version originally published by Gately & Co., complete with extensive commentary by the Rev. Geo. Leo Haydock, from whom the Bible gets its name.

 

An excellent gift and an heirloom treasure that can be passed on for generations.
