A warm invitation to the faith and a simple approach to Catholicism, Joined by Grace: A Catholic Prayer Book for Engaged and Newly Married Couples is a book for beginners and those who want to know more about Catholic prayer life.

Beyond the most essential Catholic prayers, the book offers insight and instruction for participating in the great devotions of the Church such as the Stations of the Cross, the Rosary, the Angelus, and Eucharistic Adoration.

Praise
This book is a greatly needed resource for young couples. It contains basic Catholic prayers, with explanations that are presented in a warm and personal style. It is more than a prayer book. It is an invitation to prayer. I am confident that this book will be a source of blessings and inspiration for all who read it.

Praying together as a family is the most important thing you will ever do. Read this book and you'll know why.

Authentic intimacy comes from the joining of spouses’ souls as well as their hearts. Prayer is how you put them together. Teri and John Bosio’s book is the perfect resource for couples who want to become spiritually one.

“The apostles asked Jesus, ‘Lord teach us how to pray.’ John and Teri Bosio have compiled a wonderful Catholic prayer book for engaged and newlywed couples to guide them through their journey of faith and teach them to pray. It is a book every engaged couple should have!”

This book does a beautiful job to explain what Catholics believe about prayer, but also why we believe it. This is a very helpful guide for both Catholic couples and couples of mixed religious backgrounds. Joined by Grace will be a gift my wife and I give all couples we help prepare for marriage."
