Books on Rosary?

[lawdog]

Does anyone have any good recommendations for books on the Rosary (its history, meditation tips, etc.)? My wife and I have begun praying the Rosary nightly and we would like to learn more on it. Thanks.

The Secret of the Rosary by St. Louis de Montfort is an amazing book full of information about the benefits of saying the Rosary and miracles surrounding the praying of the Rosary. It goes into detail about the various prayers and mysteries. Definitely my favorite book on the Rosary!

There was a thread a few days ago on the “power of the Rosary” here.

Thanks for the (name removed by moderator)ut. Scott1 I saw the book by Garry Willis on Amazon and was interested. However, I read negative comments about Willis’ perspective on the Chuch. Can anyone explain what Willis believes and why all the controversy surrounding him? Thanks again.
