A Return to the Rosary
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Having spent many years in Catholic school, reverence and prayer are nothing new to this reader. What is new, and what Jansen captures so well, is how the Rosary can be used to fill or clear the mind in a meditative manner more often associated with Eastern religions. The history, the art, the personal anecdotes round out this lovely primer and reading it is a bit of pleasurable peace and reassurance, seemingly just the beginning of what the Rosary is capable of. With Jansen's assistance, I've been able to rejuvenate the capacity of this prayer and find new meaning in old words.
A marvel of grace

The Rosary: A Journey to the Beloved is deeply scriptural and beautifully visual, with classic art for every mystery. It is an excellent introduction to the devotion -- clear and simple. The Rosary's sustained me, in one way or another, since I was in utero. Yet Gary's book gave me new perspectives... Still, I've never seen a better introduction for people coming in cold -- even people who know little or nothing about Christianity. The book's a marvel of grace, highly recommended.

Gary Jansen shows us the importance of slowing down and,using the repeating prayers of the rosary, inducing a meditative state. He argues that by repeating the rosary you force onself to slow down. He uses some personal anecdotes to illustrate this. This book is a unique perspective and belongs in ones personal library of anyone trying to find peace thru the power of prayer. I loved this book!
