Hanging Out With JC and His Mom

"Snoring Scholar," a blog for Catholics, published the following review:

"When Karen Edmisten’s book, The Rosary: Keeping Company With Jesus and Mary arrived, I found the 'something else' I had been seeking (though I couldn’t have told you I was looking for it). For one thing, there’s the title. I love the image of the rosary as a time to just hang out with Jesus and his mom. It has given me a whole new approach to my morning rosary, an entirely new paradigm. Coupling that idea with Fr. Groeschel’s concept of the rosary as a place has been a breath of fresh prayer for me.

But then, diving into the book itself, I was enamored. When I said this is one of the best books I’ve read and when I advised you to buy a copy for your own mother, I wasn’t exaggerating. Unlike so many devotional helps, Karen Edmisten doesn’t flowery-phrase you to death. She says what needs said -- I had quite a few 'ah-HA!' moments -- and she shares enough from her own experience that I caught myself, a few times, looking over to see if she was standing over my shoulder" [emphasis added]. Read the complete review here.
