The Angelus is an incredibly beautiful & simple set of prayers to be said three times a day. Once it was very common to stop what you were doing and say it (it takes about a minute). Now it is rare to practice this devotion.

The author, in the book, makes a very convincing case for saying the Angelus and the Regina Coeli which substitutes for it in the Easter season. Using his own life as an example, he shows how this short prayer can become a center of devotion.

This explanation is followed by a wonderful series of short meditations on each phrase of the prayer.

I loved it so much I'm starting the Angelus tomorrow!
