10 Wonders of the Rosary

I have prayed the Rosary ever day since my first visit to Medjugorje in 1990. I cannot fully explain to anyone how important it has been in my life. As the Most Rev, Athanasius Schneider, ORC, DD states in the forward, “praying the rosary calms the anxious mind, comforts the burdened heart, and gives peace to the restless soul.” I, like many others, found heavenly aid and heroic courage by meditating daily on the mysteries of the Rosary. The “10 Wonders of the Rosary” author Very Rev. Donald Calloway, MIC, wrote this book to share the spiritual power and theological richness of the Rosary with others. He personally discovered its power during his transformative experience from living in the darkness in pursuit of drugs and illicit sex to finding the source of light, the love and Truth of God, which became the focus of his own life. Calloway introduces us to each of the 10 Wonders by giving us a story about each wonder, an explanation of the wonder, an example of the wonder, and finishes with words of wonder from Popes and saints. While he lists ten, there are many more. Calloway, though, chose to focus on those which he feels are the most significant. These are: Wonder 1 – The Rosary Is of Divine Origin Wonder 2 – The Rosary Is a Spiritual Weapon Wonder 3 – The Rosary Is Feared by Satan Wonder 4 – The Rosary Crowns Mary with Spiritual Roses Wonder 5 – The Rosary Brings about Conversion Wonder 6 – The Rosary Is the Favored Marian Devotion of Popes Wonder 7 – The Rosary Is Always Prayed by Saints Wonder 8 – The Rosary Changes History and Brings Peace Wonder 9 – The Rosary Overcomes Radical Islam Wonder 10 – the Rosary Is an Indulgence to Prayer He includes the history of the Rosary beginning with St. Dominica and the 15 promises of Our Lady to those who pray the rosary. I learned a lot from this great little book and encourage all who have an interest, even a passing interest, to get a copy of “10 Wonders of the Rosary” for their family and as permanent part of their nightstand collection of books for the journey.

This book is a must read for every Catholic as well as readers interested in history of Christian devotions. Father Calloway presents his list of “10 Wonders” associated with Mary the Mother of Jesus and devotion over centuries to praying the rosary. As a 50ish “cradle” Catholic educated in everything from Biblical studies, archaeology and classical antiquities, stories of saints and Catholic history, I found this to be a true treasure trove of things I had some knowledge of to many new discoveries of people, places and events I want to do further research on As someone with moderate attention issues who has always struggled to focus when praying the rosary while reading this book, with the intercession of Blessed Bartolo Longo (who has a fascinating story in this book), I experienced the power of the rosary firsthand as a spiritual weapon against darkness.

This is such a wonderful book! Easy to read, and full of nice detail. The size is about the same as a kindle and would fit nice in a purse! I have enjoyed it so much, I am hoping it comes out for the kindle version so I can add it to my kindle library for easy reference!!

Easy-to-read. Wonderful stories. Great endorsements. Motivation to pray the rosary.

Very informative! A must read. The rosary is a powerful instrument for all that pray it! Loved the historic references!

This book is so interesting to me. I did not know many facts about the Rosary before reading this book. However, I do consider myself a devout Catholic who prays the Rosary weekly. I found it comforting to read such wonderful stories associated with the Rosary.

This is an informative book. I thought I knew all there was to know about the rosary from the author’s previous books, but there is always more.

Loved this read. Easy, informative and something every Catholic should read.

Refresh your soul and expand your knowledge of the Rosary with this beautiful book by Fr. Calloway. His writing style is engaging and inspirational. His passion for the subject shines through on every page. Highly recommended.

Fast read and so imformative, very entertaining to read.
