About this title

Synopsis

This prayer book is the most thorough and extensive collection of Scriptural Rosaries you will find anywhere. This prayer book goes well beyond the traditional Scriptural Rosary and penetrates the heart of the meditative spirit of the mysteries. It addresses many dimensions: time, from the Old to the New Testament; authors, from Moses, Isaiah, to the Evangelists; and perspectives, from purely historical to deeper spiritual and prayerful insights.Those who pray the Rosary and those who read the Bible will equally find this prayer book inspirational.

About the Author

In the 1990's, after teaching a tenth grade CCD class which integrated the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary into the Bible Study course curriculum, Christine Haapala, the author, thought "What if there is a connection between the 150 Psalms and 150 Hail Marys of the Rosary?" In the Catechism of the Catholic Church this connection is explained as "Medieval piety in the West developed the prayer of the rosary as a popular substitute for the Liturgy of the Hours." (CCC 2678) Based on this inspiration, the author completed and, then, published her first book From Genesis to Revelation: Seven Scriptural Rosaries. Her more recent Scriptural Rosary books are Speak, Lord, I am Listening (for Children, but adults love it as well) and The Suffering Servant's Courage (based on the virtue of Fortitude and Courage).

Her most recent book, His Sorrowful Passion, is a departure from her works of Scriptural Rosaries but she continues in the genre of using Sacred Scriptures verses to support meditation during prayer - in this case, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
