THIS TOOK A BIT LONGER THEN I THOUGHT. BUT IT GOT HERE, NO PROBLEMS. AND SATISFIED

Beautiful Book!

Rosary Chain of Hope is a beautiful little book with prayers for all of the mysteries along with the history of how the rosary evolved. Perfect gift for someone with deep Marian devotion.

Beautiful Reading

This is the most amazing book I've ever read. I received one as a gift and have since bought additional books because I keep giving mine to others. Everyone whose read it has the same reaction. It's so well written and gives you a beautiful understanding of the mysteries of the rosary. It makes a perfect gift for a religous teacher or anyone interested in learning more about the rosary.

Very good, for what it is.

This book contains a prayer and an approximately page-long reflection on each mystery of the rosary (including the luminous ones), and also a coulour painting for each one. There is also the full text of the apostolic letter "Rosarium Virginis Mariae." The reflections are good, and the Pope's letter is interesting, but I was looking for something with a bit more instruction on the rosary, as I feel there's more for me to learn about it. This is a fine book for someone who is familiar with the rosary, looking for new prayers or meditations, but it's not really the best introduction to the rosary.
