In 1970 Fireside was one of the original licensees of the New American Bible Catholic text. In fact, a Fireside New American Bible was the first NAB edition off the press in 1970.

Throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, Fireside became the leading publisher of English Catholic Family Bibles in the country. Marketing directly to Catholic parishes, the call for the need for a "Bible in every Catholic home" was heeded by thousands of Catholic families. In 1985, Fireside also developed a complete line of study Bibles for use in the Catholic classroom. Since that time it has become a leading supplier of Catholic hand-sized Bibles to Catholic High Schools, Catholic Elementary Schools and Catholic Parish Classrooms.
