Immaculée Ilibagiza believes that praying the rosary spared her from
being slaughtered during the horrific 1994 Rwanda genocide, in which her
family and more than a million other innocent men, women, and children
were brutally murdered. Nearly two decades later, Immaculée continues to
pray the rosary every day and marvels at how she is constantly renewed
and richly rewarded by rejoicing in this glorious prayer. It has helped
her in every aspect of her life, from literally saving her life to
strengthening her faith, easing sorrows, changing heartache into
happiness, healing illnesses in herself and others, solving family
problems, landing a dream job, finding long-lost friends, and even
locating lost keys! She received so many blessings from the rosary, in
fact, that she decided to study its history and origins. She soon
discovered that it was not just meant for Catholics, but that the Virgin
Mary promised a life filled with blessings to everyone from any religion
who faithfully recited the rosary daily . . . and this was such
wonderful news that she vowed to share it with as many people as she
could. In The Rosary: The Prayer That Saved My Life, Immaculée reveals
how the rosary's many blessings can be reaped by each and every one of
us. In this moving and uplifting book, the New York Times bestselling
author recounts her personal experience of discovering the power and the
beauty of the ancient beads--and shows all of us how to enrich our own
lives by exploring and embracing the mysteries, secrets, and promises of
the prayer that became her "lifeline to heaven."
