Bead by Bead: The Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary for Children

by Stephanie Engelman

Immerse children in the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary with this beautiful book complete with vibrant, classical art to capture their attention and enliven their imaginations.

Each Hail Mary is coupled with one or two sentences detailing the stories of Christ’s Resurrection and Ascension, the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and Our Lady's Assumption and Coronation. Similar to a scriptural Rosary, these are written in language even young children will understand and enjoy, helping youth learn to love this beautiful prayer.

Color-coded Hail Mary beads further help guide children’s fingers along their Bead-by-Bead rosaries, which can be crafted at home or purchased online if.

Whether your family prays the Rosary together every day or once in a blue moon, or even if the family Rosary is an ideal to which you longingly aspire, this book promises to elevate your family prayer and make contemplation of the Mysteries of Christ a reality.

About the author

Stephanie Engelman spent most of her teen years staying up well past bedtime devouring one novel after another. Reading until four in the morning carried over into reading while she blew her hair dry, ate her breakfast, and, once she had her license, drove herself to school. Mostly at the stoplights, but... let's just say it's a miracle she's alive. That love for reading morphed into a love for writing, and she figures God must have rescued her from her idiotic driving for a reason. Therefore, she's using her talents to share her love for all things Church. Her goal is to write stories that will change the lives of young adults, while still touching the hearts of the adults who love them.

Stephanie's life was turned upside down when her 43 year old husband suffered a heart attack and subsequent serious brain injury. She shares the story of her family's journey on her blog, http://www.afewbeadsshort.com. When she's not corralling her five children, cleaning house, or working to help her husband in his rehabilitation, Stephanie still enjoys a good book, and is (very slowly) working her way through all of the Catholic teen fiction she can get her hands on. She also enjoys any excuse to get outside, especially gardening, hiking and biking, and is notorious for starting but rarely finishing projects around the house.
