CHICAGO, January 30, 2025 — In his latest book The Healing Power of Praying the Rosary, award-winning author Gary Jansen delves into how this cherished prayer not only strengthens our relationship with God but also enhances our mental and physical well-being, offering a path to peace and renewal. Drawing from spiritual insights, practical guidance, and cutting-edge science, Jansen demonstrates how the Rosary can deepen our friendship with Christ, alleviate anxiety and worry, and provide resilience in the face of trauma and life's challenges.
Author of more than ten books on faith and spirituality, Jansen says, “My hope is that by sharing my personal journey with the Rosary, readers will come to see how this timeless prayer can not only draw us closer to God but also transform our overall well-being in ways we might not expect. Prayer and meditation aren't just good for the soul—they have tangible benefits for our physical and mental health too, and science is finally catching up to what believers have known for centuries.”
The book offers actionable ways to integrate the Rosary into daily life, including:
- Inspiring Testimonies: Jansen’s personal stories provide encouragement to persevere in their prayer life.
- Healing and Strength: Motivation for turning to the Rosary during times of doubt and struggle to bring about peace.
- Science-Based Benefits: Insights into how regular prayer and meditation can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall well-being.
- Breathwork Techniques: Guidance on incorporating breathing exercises that stimulate the vagus nerve and central nervous system to promote relaxation and deepen the meditative experience during the Rosary.
The Healing Power of Praying the Rosary is set to release on February 18, 2025.
