A Moral Guidepost in Modern Times

Monday, December 7, 2009 @ 01:12 PM HisGoodBook

new Jerusalem bibleLike any good Christian, I recognize that I am not perfect. Still, it’s important for a man or woman of faith to strive hard to live life the way Jesus taught us to do. At times when my faith is tested and I’m led into the temptation of sin, I like to be able to fall back on a cornerstone of strength called the New Jerusalem bible. Its wording is plain and straightforward, and the parables within are easily relatable to my own life experiences.

This Catholic translation was first published in 1985. Since then, many Catholics from around the globe have sought it out time and again as a moral and religious guidepost in these confusing modern times. By now my copy has become well worn with use, and I’m planning to go online to purchase a replacement very soon. With any luck, I’ll get just as much spiritual advice from it as I have the old one.
