“You’ll never pray a Rosary the same way again.”

“Sarah Reinhard and her colleagues have found a simple, approachable, and potentially life-changing method for bringing the gorgeous, scriptural Hail Mary to vibrant new life. You’ll never pray a Rosary the same way again.”

Greg Willits

“Absolutely fascinating.”

“I find Word by Word absolutely fascinating and delightful in both form and substance. This book is worth far more than you will pay for it.”

Daniel Burke
Executive Director of the National Catholic Register

“This book is a gem.”

“This book is a gem for all who seek friendship with God in the prayer of the Rosary. The message: slow down and allow the richness and variety of God’s abundant grace in daily life to come alive in your praying heart.”

Rev. Wilfred Raymond, C.S.C.
President of Holy Cross Family Ministries

“Infused our most common prayer with the spirit of the ancient Sabbath.”

“Sarah Reinhard has infused our most common prayer with the spirit of the ancient Sabbath—giving the Hail Mary the leisurely, loving reading and recitation it deserves. How appropriate that we should come to pray with the peaceful, contemplative spirit Mary brought to the Holy Family.”

EWTN host, writer, author, and speaker

“Step inside the simple words and really think them through.”

“It takes about thirteen seconds to say a complete Hail Mary, which is one reason so many Catholics call it their ‘go-to’ prayer: In a fast-paced world, we can whisper up a Hail Mary without breaking our stride. With Word by Word, we are invited to step inside the simple words and really think them through. These meditations remind us that an engagement with the Mother of God is full of both grace and power, and that our every thirteen-second supplication is a boomlet toward heaven, for the sake of the world.”

Elizabeth Scalia
Catholic blogger and author of Strange Gods

“A wonderful book!”

“Real men know in their hearts that the Hail Mary is the perfect prayer. What better way to pray than to use the words of an angel to ask for the help of the Mother of God—to ask for our Mother’s help. Thank you, Sarah, for inviting us to slow down and cherish every word of this heart song to Mary. A wonderful book!”

“A great feast for us.”

“Sarah Reinhard has—like the Woman Wisdom in Proverbs 8—laid a great feast for us by assembling some of best Catholic writers of our time to squeeze the juice out of one of the richest prayers ever to emerge from the Catholic tradition, the Hail Mary. Drink up!”

Mark P. Shea
Author of Mary, Mother of the Son

“Caused me to stop, think, and really reflect on who our Blessed Mother is.”

“As a cradle Catholic who has at times taken our beautiful prayers for granted, Word by Word caused me to stop, think, and really reflect on who our Blessed Mother is and the important role she plays in bringing us and keeping us close to Jesus.”

Teresa Tomeo
EWTN host and bestselling author of Extreme Makeover

“A gift I plan to give all of my friends this year.”

“This is a wonderful book, prayer guide, homage to the Blessed Mother, and a gift I plan to give all of my friends this year.  Well done, Sarah Reinhard!”

“A simple concept written so beautifully well.”

“Such a simple concept written so beautifully well. Slow down, read a few pages, and find yourself pulled into a closer and more authentic relationship with Mary the Mother of God.”
