Is this the Bible you are talking about?

If it is, then i wouldn’t recommend it.

First, it’s a translation known as the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) which is known for it’s inaccuracies. The NRSV contains something called inclusive language, which attempts to create a “gender neutrality.”

Second, since it refers to the Deuterocanonical books as the “Apocrypha”, it leads we to believe that it is a Protestant version of the Bible. A Protestant Bible’s annotations will not support the Catholic interpretation of Scripture for certain key verses in the Bible.

I have this study Bible:

It’s a fantastic book, I love it.

here’s some other reference material for you also that you may want to read before deciding on a Bible:
