Keeping Company With Jesus and Mary
Posted by Danielle Bean in Reviews on Monday, June 22, 2009 12:00 PM
I’ve read plenty of Rosary books—way too deep ones and pathetically fluffy ones.
I’ve prayed plenty of Rosaries—deeply devoted ones and shamefully distracted ones.
Speaking from this place of cradle Catholic experience, I can tell you what I love most about Karen Edmisten’s newly-released book, The Rosary: Keeping Company with Jesus and Mary
This book is a real guide to the basics of the Rosary—suitable for beginners and inquisitive non-Catholics. But it is also a real and inspiring guide for those of us who know all about the Rosary (or think we ought to).
Edmisten writes with the simple, clear voice of a friend, of a fellow Catholic mom with the same lofty aspirations for her spiritual life as the rest of us. When she admits the ways in which she has fallen short of her goals, she gently guides us toward greater success with our own.
Besides providing basic information about the history and how-to’s of praying the Rosary, in The Rosary: Keeping Company with Jesus and Mary
If you wonder what the Rosary is and why on earth Catholics make such a big deal about it, this book is for you. If you struggle with finding time to pray the Rosary, this book is for you. If you long for a closer relationship Mary and, through her, Jesus Christ, this book is for you. If you are already in love with the Rosary and want a friend to share and feed your enthusiasm, this book is for you.
