@nicksterwixter
In the summer of 2013 I watched the CATHOLICISM series. As an agnostic, it completely changed my world view and understanding the universe and my place in it. I would not be who I am today without @BishopBarron and @WordOnFire . It was an honor to finally meet him & thank him.
@nickthecatholic
If you haven’t yet seen the quality of the materials Word On Fire is publishing, you really should have a look. The content is informative and inspiring, and the books are works of art.
@TSEpperson
Bishop Barron @WordOnFire offers an easy way to pray the Liturgy of the Hours with his monthly booklets. He says it’s the “highest form of prayer after the Mass, an ancient way of praying Scripture throughout the day, focusing especially on the Psalms”
Jenny duBay @CreateSoulSpace
How beautifully the work of Word On Fire has become a beacon of light on the subject of the synergistic relationships between the discipline of science and the practice of religion. What a splendid and excellent example of what works best when showing real perfect understanding.
Barbara Marie (Zellers) Amato
The @WordOnFire team is consistently churning out incredible and beautiful books. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
David Dry
I love Word on Fire! @BishopBarron has guided me on my faith journey in countless ways and it was through WoF that I discovered @HaleyCarrots’ awesome work. The Pivotal Players series is great. 🙏
Matt Graeber
We love Dr. Peter Kreeft’s, “Food for the Soul,” available from Word On Fire. He offers wonderful insights on the weekly scriptural passages for the C cycle.

Few things cause such excitement in the mail. Unless of course it’s the latest volume of the @WordOnFire Bible! Thank you so much @BishopBarron, your inspiration has been such a crucial foundation to mine and many others’ faith journeys.
Man of Catholicism
The @WordOnFire Bible truly is excellent. I’m genuinely picky about my theology, having studied quite a bit, but Bishop Barron’s reflections really do impress me and I learn a lot.

Grant unto Cardinal Francis George Eternal Rest, Oh Lord! May @BishopBarron and the entire @WordOnFire community continue to receive through Cardinal Francis George’s intercession the great grace of Wisdom sent forth in & through The Holy Spirit. Amen Peace b w/u @BishopBarron

Today I received my copy of the Word on Fire Bible: Volume 2, which will be available for purchase next month! The book is a real piece of artwork in itself! I’ll keep updating while I read (enjoy) it.
Rodrigo Madrid
Word on Fire did a marvelous job with vol. 2 of the Word on Fire Bible. It has been a joy to pray with this beautiful work.
Fr. Curtis Seidel
Catholic Priest
