The New Child's Bible Is Here! With a foreword by Pope Leo XIV.

 

Discover God’s Love – child-friendly, touching, and full of life

On 31st May, 2025 a joyful moment was celebrated in Rome, during the Jubilee of Families:
The newly revised jubilee edition of the beloved Child’s Bible by Aid to the Church in Need was officially launched! 10,000 copies with the foreword by Archbishop Rino Fisichella have already been distributed. 

Now, the new edition of the Child’s Bible featuring a foreword by Pope Leo XIV is available for pre-order.

For more than 45 years, the Bible “God Speaks to His Children” has been bringing the Word of God to millions of children around the world.

✨More than 50 million copies

✨Nearly 200 languages

Now, it appears in a renewed form:
With a modernized layout, accessible language for children, and deeper spiritual prompts to lead children into a living and loving relationship with Jesus.

In many cases, this Child’s Bible is the only book a child in need ever receives.

-Fr. Anton Lässer, CP, International Ecclesiastical Assistant
