History behind rosary excellent; meditations very good

This book gives the reader insights into the history of the Rosary and its prayer uses. The Rosary is one of the best ways to offer honor and glory to Jesus. This book makes clear that Catholics do NOT pray to Mary. She, being the first Christian, is a great model and intercessor. The author presents thorough responses to some of the compaints about the Rosary. This author quotes John Paul II the Great. The Rosary is not a rote response but one of prayerful meditation upon the life of our Lord. Good buy!

Wonderful Book On the Rosary

Edward Sri has given us a marvellous compendium of the Mysteries of the Rosary. Each mystery is discussed at lenth and with wonderful theological depth. His scriptural rosary then incorporates everything learned in his more detailed chapters, making for a great devotional book. I highly recommend this book to everyone who has difficulty concentrating on the mysteries while praying the Holy Rosary.

The Rosary IS biblical - it is the prayers OF THE GOSPEL

If you were Catholic, then you would understand that we do not "worship" anyone but the Holy Trinity. "Hail Mary" is the greeting that Gabriel the Archangel said to Mary when he approached her. In other words, "Hello Mary" Filled with Grace, The Lord is with you (Jesus) Blessed are you among women (BECAUSE GOD CHOSE HER SPECIFICALLY) and Blessed is the fruit of your womb. Mary said yes to God. Have you? We don't worship her, we honor her - (as that is the 5th Commandment) We pray to Mary and the Saints to ask for help. Just as you would ask a living person to "pray for you", we ask our spiritual loved ones to also pray for us because we are not only flesh and blood, but spirit as well. Christ himself taught that we should put love above all else, not judge others. Remember, the last words that Jesus said to John were, "She is now (your) mother, and he is now (your) son. Mary is the mother of the Christian church and we are her children. Peace and an abundance of Blessings to you!
