In an age when self -help methods abound and meditation is a common prescriptive, Garry Wills—one of the most respected writers on religious topics today—offers an extraordinary journey through one of the oldest aids to spiritual contemplation.Drawing together history and readings from scripture, Wills explains the beads on the rosary and the moments in Christ’s life they represent, illustrating each mystery with a stunning Tintoretto painting. The result is an illuminating and poignant exploration of the power of prayer that will edify and inspire readers.

Garry Wills-'s Penguin Lives biography of Saint Augustine was a New York Times Notable Book. He is also the author of What Jesus Meant and the New York Times bestsellers Why I Am a Catholic and Papal Sin, and his Lincoln at Gettysburg won a Pulitzer Prize.
