Great aid in praying the Rosary!

I recently started the regular practice of praying the rosary (I'm a convert to Catholicism) and found this book very helpful. The book is organized according the traditional 4 Mysteries of the Rosary - which focus on different aspects of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Short quotes from the Bible are given to be read before praying the Hail Mary for each bead. The Bible verses are short and very well chosen to deepen your meditation. It typically takes me 25 to 30 minutes to pray a complete mystery of the rosary when using this book. This book has helped make the rosary one of my favorite prayers and it has added discipline to my prayer life through regular reflection on the Gospel story. Another thing I will mention is that since I started using this book to pray the Sorrowful mysteries (which focuses on the passion of Jesus) on Friday mornings, it has really helped me to observe it as a day of penance as the Church suggests. Thanks to Word Among Us for another great resource!
