"Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope"- 1 Peter 3:15
I’m really bad at praying the rosary. It wasn’t something I grew up with, and though I’ve grown in my faith, it is still something I really struggle with. I hoped that reading Praying the Rosary Like Never Before by Edward Sri (which I got a free copy of in exchange for my honest review) …
