The Power of the Rosary

By: Gabriel Castillo

Narrated by: 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.

The love Mary and Jesus have for us.

I liked everything in the book, especially the testimonies. I feel I want to start praying the Rosary. Thank you Gabriel for such a beautiful book. Keep writing. I enjoyed the audiobook and also your youtube videos. God bless.

The Rosary Brought Me to Jesus

I was born and raised a Hindu. Around 5 months ago I felt a calling to pray the rosary after having listened to the Bible in a Year podcast. I started to pray the rosary everyday, and everyday I was given powerful graces by God and Mary as they revealed themselves to me. Since then my heart has been completely surrendered Jesus, Mary, and the Church. I can’t describe how grateful I am to Our Lady of the Rosary.

Exactly what I needed to hear!

This book encouraged and confirmed the existing desire I had to pray all 4 Rosaries! Thank You!!

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.

It was a great modern recap

I enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. It's a great "modern" style way of reviewing the rosary importance meaning etc
