Product Description
The Word is made fresh by the irrepressible Mother Angelica as she personally escorts you through the Scriptures, unearthing lessons for daily living--the perfect companion to the New York Times bestselling Mother Angelica's Little Book of Life Lessons and Everyday Spirituality.
The founder of the world's largest religious media empire shares her beloved wit and down-to-earth spirituality in MOTHER ANGELICA'S PRIVATE AND PITHY LESSONS FROM THE SCRIPTURES. Editor Raymond Arroyo draws on hundreds of never-before-released private lessons to present the renowned nun's definitive take on the Good Book. Angelica provides readers with guided meditations, probing personal questions, and reveals an often-overlooked practical spirituality. She doesn't just explain the stories, she relates them to our daily lives, helping even those who've never opened the Bible experience its power and life-altering lessons. The apostles Paul ("the little shrimp"), Peter ("that great bungler") and all the characters of the Scriptures are suddenly human again, complete with their foibles and triumphs. Here is the Greatest Story, newly told as only Mother Angelica can. The Bible and you will never be the same.
A portion of the royalties from this book goes to support the work of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery
Mother Angelica's Private and ... Lessons from the scripturesDecember 26, 2008 Very interesting and inspiring book! I have been a fan of Mother Angelica from the beginning. She is a believer. Doing tremendous service to the Catholic community and Christians in general.
Mother Angelica's Private and Pithy Lessons for the ScripturesDecember 3, 2008 I can highly recommend this book - it's like "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." It has small gems of lessons; simple, yes, but many preachers forget to give us the everyday applications of the Bible. Read one or two a day, and then really try to put them into practice. If one could put each thoroughly into our Christianity, the world would be a better place.

For those days when nothing goes right or when everything goes right Mother Angelica is there to gently nudge you on your journey to Christ. This book makes you place yourself in the moment with God from the safety of your grandmother's knee making the spiritual lessons feel like coming home.
I found myself shaking my head in amazement at how much Mother sees in the Scriptures and how blind I have been ... until now. This book has helped me view my human imperfections from a new point of view and has allowed me to see that this is exactly the same point of view the Saints had of their own failings and misgivings.
Yes, the Apostles and other Saints really were human. And now I have a clearer understanding of the struggles they felt in their own spiritual journies even as they walked alongside Jesus.
Thank you Mother Angelica and God Bless you!

The divine has come to earth in this book heaven and earth meet lots more please. Europe needs a good divine kick now and lots and lots of prayer to bring back the Christian Faith that gave it purpose and meaning. Jesus was never PC none of us should be either
Mother Angela Private nd Pithy Lessons From ScriptureNovember 16, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Mother Angelica is her usual straight to the point commentator on the scripture. She makes it fun learning about scripture and brings it down to a practicable level. This is a book that makes learning about scripture fun, brings a fresh point of few to scripture, and gives you valuable information about interpretation of scripture.
