The skills of Christian prayer are older and more profound than those of any other religion, but they're not usually taught to the laity any more. Rosary is really a one-volume encyclopedia of prayer, outlining the techniques of vocal, medative, and contemplative prayer in detail, clearly and understandably, drawing its insights from the Fathers of the Church, the popes, and the great saints - all of whom speak across the centuries with engaging love and great humor, and with surprising unanimity about what Christian prayer is and how you can do it better.
