5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiration, August 30, 2006
By Penny Lane (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
I bought a copy of The Rosary when it came up by chance as an "Amazon Recommendation" for me. I completely believe in fate and signs and thought this to be one. Although I have tried in the past, I wouldn't normally read a book about a prayer but this one is different. It is more than a book. It's a kind voice speaking to you, whispering in the background even while it's put away neatly on your bookshelf. It made me look at the Rosary in a completely different way than I did in all my years of Catholic school. I would recommend it not only for someone who is interested in prayer but also for those of you who have trouble with meditation. I have tried "walking down the path into the forest and closing the gate" and so on and so on as many meditation guides recommend but the nagging stress of my day to day life always distracts me back to the present. Here, Gary Jansen teaches a deeply meaningful type of meditation. I now keep The Rosary on a shelf above my bed and have reached for it during some hardships that have occurred in my life in the past months. It is truly an inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars a beautifully written book, February 19, 2007
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Return to the Rosary, November 20, 2008
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.
