Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
How To Pray the Dominican Way
Angelo Stagnaro · 2012
75/100
👍 Worth It
Stagnaro recovers a genuinely obscure medieval tradition and makes it accessible and immediately usable — the ten-week, one-posture-per-week format is the kind of concrete structure that turns a spiritual book into a real practice. James Martin's endorsement carries weight, and the Catholic press reception is warm. Non-Catholic readers will find the theology unfamiliar, but for its intended audience this is a distinctive and substantive find.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Solidly Catholic theological content; narrow ecumenical reach. We still scored it 75; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
