Looking for the Light

Mary and I have become good friends, and her encouragement, positive attitude, and motivation have helped me grow. Her book has expanded my life in new ways. Thanks, Mary.

About Mary K. Doyle

Author Mary K. Doyle has a Master of Arts Degree in Pastoral Theology. Her fluid, conversational writing style results from an extensive career in feature writing, advertising, and publicity over more than thirty years. Her latest book is Navigating Alzheimer’s: 12 Truths about Caring for Your Loved One. This information was taken from the back of the book.

Whether readers are praying the rosary for the first time or are already praying the rosary daily, they will find that The Rosary Prayer by Prayer is an invaluable resource and aid to promoting a deeper prayer experience. It is a treasure chest of information about the history and benefits of the rosary, suggestions for meditation on the mysteries, exquisite artwork, and references. This book is also an easy way to learn how to pray the rosary.

You can find Mary’s book on Amazon.

Here are a couple of reviews from Amazon

“I grew up Catholic, but didn’t know that there were multiple devotions to saying the rosary. And, as an adult and lapsed Catholic I was a bit fuzzy on the basics as well. This book does a soulful job of detailing the steps and introducing the special devotions of each of the mysteries. The pen and inks are a beautiful accompaniment to the text. A very nice gift book for anyone who wants to reaquaint themselves with the devotion of the rosary.”

“As a Catholic Man in the Knights of Columbus we oft say “REAL MEN SAY THE ROSARY.” I to my shame lapsed a bit in regular Rosary Prayer/Reflection…..BUT….. well … I came across this GEM of a BOOK! it has revived my devotion in the Rosary by new BUT Traditional reflections….magnificent charcoal pics in all Mysteries in short…. a book LONG NEEDED….I think it wonderful for Catholics who are long time Rosary users….Newbies…….or in my Case…….a lapsed “Rosary User” ….JP2 called it (the Rosary) his favorite Prayer… this book….will bring full circle why JP2 said this!!!”

Mary has written nine books; you can see the collection HERE.

My Thoughts

The book’s layout flows nicely and leads smoothly into the next topic.

Each Prayer shares the history of the Rosary prayers and references the Scripture where the prayer originated. Each prayer has an illustration of the Rosary, and the bead to start the prayer is circled.

The book is informative, not technical, and written with a gentle heart.

The Rosary is written for everyone, and her writing is easy to understand. I’ve learned so much. The Rosary Prayer By Prayer is a must-read for all Catholics or those who are curious. It’s a book for your bookshelves to reference for years to come.

Major Thumbs up!
