Great!!

This is a great little book about the Rosary, and how to pray it. Having just been recently published it provides some fresh insight and new Meditations for each of the twenty mysteries. This little book will be a valued addition to your collection of prayer books and book used for meditation.

See the Mysteries through Fresh Eyes

This small book-it would fit in pocket or purse-is packed with wisdom and inspiration. The two-page spread for each of the four sets of mysteries comprises the title of the mystery, scripture passage, reflection, and suggestion for meditation. The reflections lead seamlessly from the original verse through biblical background into the present day and, finally, our personal connection. The following two examples typify Boyer's fresh approach. Writing about the Annunciation, Boyer lists common secular announcements we receive, graduations, weddings, births, and deaths, and suggests that we also receive personal announcements from God on a regular basis. God might announce a solution to a problem when we are listening to a friend or spouse, and "when you speak the truth, when you accept full responsibility for your actions, be assured that you are hearing announcements from God." Each reflection ends with a short suggestion for meditation as you pray the relevant mystery. Addressing the sorrowful mystery of the Jesus' scourging, Boyer reviews violent punishments throughout history, segues into violence accomplished with words, and suggests that while praying the mystery we meditate on verbal scourgings we have delivered and ask for grace to avoid future tongue lashings.
