Practical Praying - The rosary is NOT just for Catholics!
By Pam Blizzard on March 17, 2005
Format: Hardcover
Kudos to John Edward for having the bravery to write this book! It is unfortunate that Mr. Edward has to make disclaimers in this book about not endorsing or representing any particular religion, nor is he claiming any special supernatural communications from God or Mary. But this is the climate and culture we live in, where psychics are demonized for claiming what Christ said we would all do. Fortunately, Mr. Edward is able to move past this, and make you feel as if he is talking directly to you the reader.

In the book, John shares some very deep personal experiences from throughout his life that deepened and strengthened his personal relationship with Mary the Mother of Christ: childhood, the period of time that his mother became ill, and adult experiences afterward. Reading this book, you receive an intimate view into John's personal viewpoint of his relationship with God, and how Mary and the rosary plays an important part in that relationship.

He shares the basics of how the Catholic church teaches the rosary, but emphasizes that the words themselves are not so important as your "presence" in the prayer itself, leaving room open for you to put your own intentions into the prayer or use the classic form of meditatation upon the mysteries of Mary's and Jesus' life and passion.

The book also includes a workbook type section with suggestions for exercises to get into a space where you can reflect, and focus on what you want your prayer dialog to be.

Roma Downey prays the entire rosary on the CD, as well as John. There is also a guided meditation on the audio by John that is a preparation for your prayer journey, that is absolutely wonderful.Read more ›

Thank you for Honoring your guides
By A. ekenbarger on March 21, 2005
Format: Hardcover
I just finished John Edward's New book Practical Praying: Using The Rosary To Enhance Your Life. It is Mr .Edward's most personal book to date.

I feel this book is a gift.

This book is not a religious book, it is a tool to open up a PERSONAL "Prayer dialogue" with god within your own belief system.

I am Catholic, and as a child learning the rosary was very much as John explained it..And Yes I did Chuckle after reading page 27. Learning the rosary was very much like

"just another thing a kid was told to do like eat your vegetables"

If you are Catholic, you will be able to laugh, cry and relate to John's own personal Journey. You will see your childhood written on those pages. We have all had Sister Mary Terror's in our childhood....

But I feel you will be moved even if you are not familar with the rosary. This book is so much more than the historical and religious gift of the rosary...It is a gift of helping ANYONE ( no matter what religious background you came from) connect or reconnect with God.

You can apply Practical Praying to your life without having rosary beads in your hand........And that statement didnt hit me until after I read the book!

My Mom and I had a huge connection with the rosary beads. When I buried her on Good Friday last year and noticed that someone took her beads from the coffin..I gently slipped mine in her hands. I felt lost with out them. When I return home exhausted and sad..I prayed without my rosary beads for the first time....Literally within 5 minutes there was a ring at the door and someone who I appreciate very much send me rosary beads!!!

(I feel my mom heard my prayers) A note inside said they were from Mexico city!!Read more ›

Best John Edward Book yet!
By A Reader on April 19, 2005
Format: Hardcover
-

This is truly a wonderful and inspirational book.

In the past, I had not been sure about the authenticity of John Edward. I did, however, believe that he was providing a comfort to those suffering from grief due to the loss of a close loved-one.

So, regardless if he was truly communicating with the spirit of one passed-on or whether he was only communicating from within himself, he was still providing a service to those suffering.

This book is inspirational in that John tells how the Rosary has helped him in the loss of his Mother, Aunt, and Granmother and how it centers him in his work. Now that I have read this book, he has me believing that he is a true blessing.

The book comes with an audio CD which has the rosary spoken by Roma Downey and another version by John Edward. This is truly wonderful.

Exactly What it Claims to Be
By Yvonne Angel on September 28, 2005
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I am a strong, believing Protestant, and you won't find many Protestents who pray the Rosary. But I was mysteriously attracted to the idea of it, and as if in response to a prayer, this little book came to my attention. I bought it, and ordered myself a Rosary. Using John's suggestion that I tailor my prayers to my own comfort level, I began to "pray the Rosary." My prayer life is much stronger than before, and more intentional I guess is the word he uses. I had no problem with his theology; since I'm not Catholic, it didn't sound at all like heresy. Rather it was a moving testimonial by a sincere and devout human being, whose desire it is for us all to have a relationship with God, and a strong prayer life. Thank you John for this profound gift.

Helped me focus my praying

I am on my second copy of this book because I wore out the CD on my first one. I use the CD to focus my prayers on my morning commute to work. I especially like and use track four.

I thought this might be a contribution to prayer, because of the Author, John Edward, who likes praying the rosary as a preparation for his work as a medium. Read more
