My Pocket Rosary Book [Lelen, J M] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. My Pocket Rosary Book Review: Oddly imperfect but still the best I have found - This is a well-sized little book that is packed with everything you need to pray the rosary. Although the biblical pictures aren't amazing, they are certainly good enough to function as a visual placeholder for praying without a set of rosary beads. The paper is a flexible laminate, so I expect these seventy-two pages to travel well. I would describe the content as very complete. It contains all of the standard prayers as well as several common but optional prayers. It includes brief reflections and prayers specific to all four mysteries (updated in 2002). Oddly, it erroneously edits (on page 8) the text of Mary's 1917 "Fatima promise" to include the 2002 additions. That is misleading and unnecessarily revisionistic. But the booklet has a nihil obstat and imprimatur!?! I agree with other reviewers who find the book's structure to be odd. I would have prefered the prayers to be grouped with the "how to" instructions at the beginning of the book, and for history and variant practices to be at the back. As it is, the book feels disordered. This would likely not bother someone who has prior experience praying the rosary but it could be difficult for a newcomer who expects simple, step-by-step instructions. Even so, I bought several copies, because this is the best little rosary booklet that I have found (and I have collected many over the decades, pun intended). Five stars for that. Review: Loved it. - Perfect to put in your wallet or pocket. Easy to follow and for praying.

Oddly imperfect but still the best I have found

love this book!
This small booklet (3.75"x4.5")is easy to put in my purse so I always have it with me. It's well-made with glossy pages. It contains the "Hail Holy Queen" and "Prayer before and after the Rosary".It explains Rosary Indulgences, and has many other prayers. I will paperclip this book closed. My other one got torn up in my purse and I lost pages.

Great little book! Would buy again!
Cute, helpful little pocket-sized book that sums up the rosary well, along with the Litany of Loreto. I'm just a little bit confused about the prayer about Russia, which could have been either indicated in the product description or left out of the book to make the book more universal.

Ordered quite a few of these pocket Rosary Books, (UK, to Canada, took a few weeks) I gave them away to many appreciative friends and family, I would highly recommend them as great teaching tools for all those learning the Holy Rosary, or coming back into practicing it again ;o)
