Beads of Faith - beautiful on every level

Beautiful in text and photography, this is a lovely book for anyone interested in how different faiths mark their prayers with beads.

A beautiful piece of literature and religious art!

This is THE book to get if you are remotely interested in prayer beads as a form of prayer and/or crafting. As a Rosary Artisan, I found the book to be vital to my craft (and my spirituality) as it reveals the meanings behind the beads from different cultures and religions. The pictures are stunning, the writing is fluid and beautiful, and the instructions/implementations are user friendly.I highly highly highly recommend this book without any sort of reservation!
