A thoughtful collection
Regardless of the shape and size of your family, you’ll find an OSV book or media product that will motivate, invigorate, enliven, reassure, touch, or teach. All with the help of your Catholic faith.
Reading, studying and praying with the Bible
Sacred Scripture is essential to Christian living; God’s Word speaks to, nourishes and guides us in our journey to discipleship. OSV provides a wide range of Bibles so you can discover one that best fits your spirituality. Journaling and note-taking Bibles allow you to interact with the Word of God. Topical Bibles give you fresh insight into scripture. Bibles for children, teens, and young adults are also available. OSV even has a Catholic Bible organized so you can read it through in a year.
Enter more fully into God’s presence
Prayer has always been and always will be vital to a rich faith life. We lift our hearts and minds to God – bringing to him our sorrows and thanksgiving and listening attentively for his guidance. Keep your family’s prayer life fresh and focused with a wide variety of inspiration and instruction from OSV.

CHILDREN’S BOOKS
Parents and grandparents are turning to OSV for the best in children’s books. Each book added to the OSV Kids line is prayerfully considered, from the message, to the artwork, to the production quality and value. Always faithful to the teachings of the Catholic faith, families can trust OSV to help them lead their children to Christ and his Church.
Connecting young adults with the beauty of Catholicism
It’s a sad reality in the Church today. Young adults are leaving Catholicism. Unanswered questions, unexplained doctrine, and societal pressures often push them away. Armed with the right resources and support from OSV books and media, our young Catholics can stay firmly planted in the Catholic faith for a lifetime.
Seasons of preparation and celebration
Lent and Advent are times of preparation and penance for Catholics, and many Catholics are seeking inspiration, motivation, and ways to grow in their faith during these two important seasons of our liturgical calendar. You’ll not only find books and media that can help with the preparation, but books that will help you truly celebrate Christ’s resurrection at Easter and his coming to us at Christmas.
Helping families take care of mind, body, and spirit
Personal health and development are important for families to live fulfilling lives, but, importantly, it frees us up to be open to hearing the voice of God and doing his will. That’s why OSV offers books that help Catholic families work through improving their emotional, physical, social, and intellectual health. You’ll find books on hobbies like running and gardening, physical fitness and body image, home organization and ordered living, finding peace and work/life balance.
Helping families learn, live, and love the Faith
Helping Catholic families learn about, live, and love their Catholic faith is a concept OSV was founded on – that an educated and well-formed laity can make a huge difference in the world. You’ll find books and media that can help your family understand your faith, live it out day by day, and share it with the world around you.
Sharing your faith with grace and confidence
As Catholics we are all called to share our Faith, even with our own families. But sometimes we need a little help in knowing how to share the Good News with confidence. OSV is here to help. We offer a wide range of resources that will help you grow in your own understanding of the Faith so that you will be ready and able to share it with others. From theologians and renowned apologists to popular authors and speakers, you’ll find the perfect apologetics book that will suit your needs.
