Indulgences are rarely understood and, therefore, ignored by most Catholics today—even by many clergy. Most no longer understand what they are nor do they understand how they can help us, the Poor Souls—and how they can fit into a healthy spiritual life.

The most important focus of this book is on the new loveful mysteries of the rosary. Do you sometimes have trouble concentrating when praying the rosary? Meditation beads can help you. Chapter one begins with two sections on the history of the rosary. The first is a short summary. The second section offers a more extensive look at the rosary’s often confusing history. It also considers the continuing changes to the rosary over the centuries and addresses a common attack made by some people who wrongly call it “vain repetition” of prayer. That misconception is put to rest here.

In the Bible, the Apostle John twice says that "God is Love." Nowhere else do we find those precise words. Most people assume that simply means that God loves us. After all, the Bible says that in other places. But, while it is true that God loves us, this book suggests that John did not just mean that. It suggests that John's meaning might go well beyond that. Is it possible that John meant that God actually IS Love? That God is the ENTITY of Love? This book suggests that may indeed be what John meant.
