I recently purchased a great book for those interesting in a comprehensive study of the Theology of the Body. “Man and Woman He Created Them” translation, introduction, and index by Michael Waldstein is the most complete work on the subject I’ve ever seen. I highly reccomend it, and I hope to post commentaries on the TOB as I work my way through the 129 teachings by John Paul.

Servant of God Pope John Paul II had a very strong devotion to Mary, and in my opinion, did more to foster devotion to her than any other Pope in history.
I just finished reading a wonderful book that I highly reccomend: the Complete Rosary by William G. Storey.
Now, I consider myself to be a devotee of the rosary which I pray daily… but this book was truly an education on the subject. From the history and development of the prayers to new ways to recite the rosary alone and in groups. For those of who out there who struggle to fully appreciate the wonder that is devotion to Christ through Mary this book will truly be a blessing.
Pope John Paul’s Rosariun Virginis Mariae introduces a new program for the rosary that enhances the way we pray it and this book includes all of those methods offered in the encyclical letter as well as pictures, other Marian hymns and prayers, and all twenty mysteries.
I pray that you all purchase this great book and grow in your devotion to Christ.
