The Power of the Rosary

De: Gabriel Castillo

Narrado por: Gabriel Castillo, T.K. Coleman, Josef Castillo, Gemma Castillo

The Power of the Rosary by Gabriel Castillo, is more than a book: It is a theological bombshell, a detonator for spiritual renewal, and a lifeline for modern Catholics who feel lost in the storm. At once mystical, scholarly, and deeply personal, this work deserves to be placed alongside the classics of Marian devotion. It is The Secret of the Rosary for a new generation—expanded, clarified, and intensified. From the very first minutes, Castillo makes clear that the Rosary is not a sentimental string of beads for the weak but a divine weapon forged by the Queen of Heaven and designed to sanctify, deliver, and transform.

With the precision of a scholar and the urgency of a preacher, he traces the Rosary’s roots from Sacred Scripture and the Gospels, through St. Dominic and Bl. Alan de la Roche, to Lourdes, Fatima, and the towering figure of St. John Paul II. Every chapter is saturated with insights from the greatest saints, grounded in tradition, and supported by the lived witness of souls who have been changed by Mary’s intercession. Yet what makes this book shine is not just its doctrinal clarity but its deep intimacy.

Castillo writes as one who has been saved by the Rosary. He speaks not just to minds but to hearts—to the young who are searching for purpose, to sinners trapped in mortal sin, to heartbroken parents, exhausted priests, and lukewarm souls in need of fire. His voice is bold but fatherly, convicting but compassionate. Particularly illuminating is his teaching on mental prayer—how to truly pray the Rosary, and pray it well, using the method of the saints. He combines Carmelite mysticism with Dominican structure. It is here that mystical theology becomes tangible. Listeners are not just invited to recite prayers but to encounter Christ face-to-face through Mary, to gaze into the eyes of Jesus in the mysteries of the Rosary, and to converse with God from the heart.

This book will pierce you. It will awaken you. It will challenge you to live differently.

By God's grace

personally I have never liked it when an author changes their voice in order to highlight a different speaker or quote from another, it's a pet peeve and hence the score I attributed to performance. the book was good, I will very likely read it again, it has also done what it has set out to do, and I have started doing 4 rosaries a day, by God's grace I will continue well past the 7 days I have assigned it.

Full of many graces! Highly recommend

I have the book and it was wonderful to be able to get the audible version! Gabi is an amazing educator with a passionate heart – he makes everything he teaches about super interesting and very easy to understand. It is because of him I am becoming a Catholic and I have been praying the rosary for over a year now. I can’t say enough about this book or about his teaching and YouTube and true faith TV channels.
Rosary for me has been a lifesaver – I have four or five different issues going on in my life that Their own and I have been able to surrender and pray at least one rosary day, my goal will be to do all four of them. In the night, I sometimes wake up and just put on the full rosary and I can easily fall back asleep and I know that my soul is more at peace!
Thank you, Gabi!

A Powerful Gift for All

This is an inspiring book to keep near. I’m not a theologian and St. Louis de Montfort is not entirely accessible to me. Mr. Castillo brings de Montfort and many others to me in terms I can absorb. The narration is well paced and pleasant. I appreciate the clarity the author brings to a subject I thought I knew well but now want to know better.
I highly recommend this book to all, not only Catholics. It’s the light and defense we all need, today more than ever.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Life-Changing — A Must-Listen!

Thank you, Mama Mary. Thank you, Bro. Gabi Castillo. 🙏💙

This book is not just a book — it’s a Gem. A radiant treasure given to us in our modern times, especially in the midst of all the trials and confusion we face in today’s society, culture, and world.
The Most Holy Rosary is our weapon — a spiritual weapon of love, faith, and hope. It does not conquer by force, but by grace; not by control, but by gently capturing hearts and leading them to the merciful embrace of Jesus Christ, through the maternal love of His Blessed Mother.

Though the Rosary has been promoted for centuries, especially in time of St.Dominic were heresies and great injustice happened, our current world situation is no different — in fact, perhaps even more urgent. The influence of evil has reached into the very palms of our hands through modern technology. Now more than ever, there is no better time to pray and promote the Holy Rosary than today.
Bro. Gabi’s book, The Power of the Holy Rosary, is truly inspired — guided by the Holy Spirit and spoken clearly through the heart of our Blessed Mother. It is beautifully simple, easy to absorb, and yet profoundly deep. As you listen, you feel as if Mama Mary herself is gently teaching and guiding you like a loving Mother leading her children closer to her Son.

This is more than just an audiobook. It is a call, an invitation, and a lifeline. The Holy Rosary has the power to save lives and souls. If you long to deepen your Catholic faith, strengthen your Marian devotion, and discover peace in a troubled world, this is the book for you.
It is not only a must-listen — it is a necessary book for our times.
This is for everyone, no matter where you are in your faith journey.

Bro. Gabi, thank you for becoming an instrument of Our Blessed Mother. Through your efforts and sacrifices, you are helping countless families, including mine, grow closer to Mama Mary and ultimately to Christ. May God bless you abundantly for this mission. 🌹✝️

Spiritual Successor of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort

As the title states, Gabriel's The Power of the Rosary is truly a spiritual successor of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort's works about the Blessed Mother. Within this work, you'll learn about the history of the rosary up to the modern age, how the rosary assists in mental prayer, and the strength of the rosary against spiritual warfare; to name a few. It is a book I will be purchasing several copy and give to family members for Christmas.

If you're new to the rosary, this book provides everything you will need to get you going as well as help in overcoming any hurtles you may have about asking for the Blessed Mother's intercession. For those seasoned with the rosary, the chapters on mental prayer and spiritual warfare will be most insightful and assist in elevating your prayer life through the rosary.

As for the performance, if you're used to watching Gabriel's YouTube channel, GabiAfterHours, then you'll be happy to know the way he reads his book is exactly how he communicates in his videos. It feels natural and as if you're sitting next to him having a conversation.

Must read or must listen

This is the “The Secret of the Rosary” of our time. Incredible book with so much love for Mary, incredibly backed by theology, Saints an real people showing their devotion to Our Lady. It pushed me to pick up my rosary and actually pray. Thank you Gabriel!
