Whether you are a cradle Catholic learning the Holy Bible or a Protestant convert divesting yourself of your Protestantism, this book on the Scriptures is for you. The only book of its kind from a traditional Catholic perspective, it cuts through the fluff and gets to the heart of the spiritual realities which are fundamental to all discussion on the Holy Bible. It also tells the story of how rejection of these spiritual realities has led directly to the current crisis in the Church. Part spiritual, part historical, part linguistic, this introduction provides the traditional Catholic with the tools to understand and profit from the Holy Scriptures. The book includes an original translation of St. Melito of Sardis, an annual reader based on the traditional office of Matins, as well as the foundational guide to Refute Protestants in Five Minutes.
This book is free for all patrons of the Apostolate in eBook form, and you can buy the print version on Amazon.
An eBook form will be available for purchase in the future.

Dear Tim,
I watched your pure and cutting way of answering on Dr.Marshall’s pod cast, and I want to get this Bible for my cousin in Oman(Middle East) as he wants a Douay Rheims. So this I will do.
I praise and thank Our Blessed Lady – for you.
Thanks brother! God bless your efforts
Ever since 2014, I have taken each year to read completely through the entire Catholic Bible using the awesome Verbum software. Also each year,, I have read the entire Catechism, alternating between the CCT and the CCC. For 2020, I am reading the Douay-Rheims Bible and the CCT.
I do hope that the eBook format will be available on Amazon soon. I keep all my books on my iPhone and iPad so as to have ready access to them whenever the Lord impresses it upon my heart.
I too saw your recent episode with Dr. Taylor Marshall, and it was a very enlightening podcast!
Hey brother! That’s great that you have that discipline established! I can send you the eBook for $10. Let me send you an email.
