Excellent Meditations on the Life of Christ

Twenty Steps on the Way to Glory by Rev. Emile R. Guilmette, S.M. is an excellent resource and thoughtful study on using the rosary.

Guilmette writes in a clear style that helps the reader to understand the Mysteries of the Rosary. Each of the four Mysteries, The Joyful Mysteries, The Luminous Mysteries, The Sorrowful Mysteries, The Glorious Mysteries are written about as mediations on Jesus' life and minstry. The author uses many Biblical quotations in his examinations.

Rev. Guilmette wrote that he had been inspired by the late Pope John Paul the Second to write this book when he dedicated the year of 2002 as the Year of the Rosary. Anyone interested in understanding the rosary and especially Catholics who pray the rosary or want to pray the rosary, will find this an excellent resource and a great study of this ancient practice. I recommend this book over say The Rosary written by the near heretic Garry Wills.
