Real men Pray the Rosary

This book looks interesting... has anyone read it?
I liked the preview pages I could see on Amazon. I am thinking of stashing this for ds when he is older.

I haven't read it, but I did just order it for DH for Father's Day. He just joined a prayer ministry so it was a timely gift.

Coming back to add that I have just finished reading this book, and it was very good.

The author has seven children, and they are homeschooled.
Real Men Pray the Rosary came out of a conversion experience he had while on retreat during a difficult point in his life. His wife writes one of the chapters.

The books includes some very inspiring stories of men who pray the rosary. I was humbled by their devotion- not just in prayer but in works.

He also reviews what the rosary is and how to pray. I thought I might skip over that part, but I did wind up reading all his reflections, plus the papal ones he included.

Well- that showed me! After years of praying the rosary many of their reflections were ones that have never even occurred to me. So now I have even more to ponder while I pray.

There is a website to go along with the book, as well as a facebook page.

I think it is a great book for teens/dads/ and even curious moms like me.
