The Rosary: A Journey to the Beloved

The Rosary: A Journey to the Beloved by Gary Jansen. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781582882055.

In The Rosary: A Journey to the Beloved, Gary Jansen offers a short introduction to a prayer that has touched the lives of millions. "Though traditionally considered a Catholic act of devotion," he contends, "the Rosary, with its primary focus on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus, is ultimately a catholic, or universal, prayer—one that can appeal to Christians of all faiths and denominations." The Rosary, attempts to cut through the myths of this sacred prayer and get to the heart of the matter—which is an ecumenical, meditative journey that illuminates the teachings of the New Testament. Written for Catholics and Protestants and divided into two sections, The Rosary offers useful instructions on how to get the most out of this spiritual exercise of repeating prayers. It includes a visual and scriptural journey through the mysteries of the Rosary—including excerpts from the New Testament and reproduction of famous paintings by Botticelli, Rembrandt, Raphael, and many others.
