5.0 out of 5 stars When Your Very Soul Hits The Wall..., February 27, 2006

This review is from: The Secret of the Rosary (Paperback)

You might want to have this non-pious but incredibly inspirational book handy. It will mystically...and miraculously encourage you to pick up your rosary and pray - in perhaps a very different and more powerful way than you have ever done before. And if you don't believe in any of this, just try it. A life changing book as much as the rosary is a soul-saving spiritual weapon against evil - (that few can deny is alive and well on planet earth) and one of the most effective heavenly life-preservers gifted to we mere mortals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incomparable...just a wonderful book!, August 22, 2004

By 

Marky McMark (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Secret of the Rosary (Paperback)

This is a little bit of pious reading you will return to again and again. Although the writing style may make it somewhat dated, the truths that come forth are just as potent today as they were when this was first written. Vatican II types who have tried to reduce devotion to Mary to something optional and outdated will hopefully have their eyes opened wide after reading this, and re-discover why the Rosary is, after the Mass, the most powerful prayer the Holy Catholic Church posseses. Miss this book at your soul's peril!

If you have ever doubted the power of the rosary or the importance it has in our Catholic Faith as a priest, innocent child, grave sinner, Church suffering or militant, and everyone who has lived or ever will live on God's good earth, the "Secret of the Rosary" will be instrumental in opening the eye and heart to this treasure on earth....the Rosary it is truly a gift from God...as is His loving Mother present with us encouraging us to pray, pray, pray.....interceding with us for the world....everlasting....
