Book Review: The Healing Power of Praying the Rosary by Gary Jansen

“Experience Peace and Restore Your Soul.”

Goodreads blurb for The Healing Power of Praying the Rosary

Review:

The Healing Power of the Rosary is a great guide to enriching prayer life. It offers different approaches to praying the Rosary, such as visualization, nature, meditation, etc., which can suit many different readers. It also delves into each of the mysteries of the Rosary. As the title suggests, there is also discussion of the many benefits of praying the Rosary. Not only spiritually, but also mentally and physically. 

Though I’m quite familiar with the Rosary, I never gave much thought to the outward benefits that are attributed to this prayer. I’ve always considered it to be a strictly spiritual experience. As I read on, I realized that I could apply the outward benefits to my life despite the fact that I’d never consciously realized them. 

This book is a great starting point for people wanting to learn how to pray the Rosary, people who want to build skills to deepen their prayer time, as well as people looking for a refresher or even encouragement to build a daily routine. 

Thanks to Loyola Press and NetGalley for providing a free digital ARC!

I’m looking forward to trying some of these methods of prayer.
