The Gift — Katherine Valentine

The Gift is destined to capture the hearts of all those who have sought to be of service to the Lord but have lacked a path until now...

Twenty-plus years ago, author Katherine Valentine gave a cherished Rosary to a homeless woman in a gesture of the Father's love. Two people were transformed that day. The woman, who was filled with hopelessness and despair, awoke to the revelation that she was greatly loved by God. And Katherine, who felt that she had little to offer the Lord, became a purveyor to a powerful source of intercessory prayers reflected by a strand of beads.

The Gift is the story of the small beginnings of a lay ministry begun by one woman--a ministry that has taken the Rosary from a devotional that many consider passé to a worldwide phenomenon that is bringing comfort and miracles to those who have lost their way.
