Beads and the Bible Entering the Mysteries of Prayer Author/Editor: John F. Craghan Publisher Name: Liguori Publications Order #: 978-0-7648-1784-7 Retail Price: $9.95 Publisher Website: www.liguori.org Audience: Adults Medium: Paperback
Description: Prayer is a many-splendored reality—a response to great happiness and great sadness in times of normalcy and times of great upheaval. What happens when we pray? What is this exercise of communion with our God? This book addresses these questions and more by illuminating specific biblical passages for each mystery of the rosary, and helping the reader gain insight into the meaning of those texts and God’s plan. It explores the use of the rosary, the mysteries, and the depth of God’s love for us. As we gain insight into the meaning of biblical texts and try to discover God’s plan in a variety of events, we experience such a state of awe that we may be overwhelmed with not being able to clearly see God’s plans. As our love for God grows, we feel we are incapable of expressing such great love in simple terms. Prayer and the mystery of the rosary provide us a channel to communicate this pure love. This book gives the reader a chance to explore the mysteries of the rosary and examine various dimensions and aspects of prayer.

Personal Prayer Living in Love with God Author/Editor: John Trenchard C.Ss.R. Publisher Name: Liguori Publications Order #: 978-0-7648-1764-9 Retail Price: $9.95 Publisher Website: www.liguori.org Audience: Adults Medium: Paperback
Description: Some people try to pray but soon give up because it doesn’t seem to get them anywhere. Many join in public prayers at church before declaring it hasn’t had a personal effect. Others attempt prayer in times of tragedy, only to discover that it makes no real difference. Yet underneath these apparent failures there remains the nagging feeling that a personal friendship with God is important and that prayer matters. This book is written for everyone who is interested – even if only slightly – in a prayer that brings them into contact with God. This interest may be the result of recent tragedy such as the death of a loved one or the breakdown of an important relationship. Or it may be that you’re having your child baptized and you want to develop a relationship with God so your child can enjoy a real faith. It may be that you simply feel an emptiness in your life and your distance from God is the source of that emptiness. Whatever your reason, Personal Prayer will help you find new life in your approach to prayer.
