Praise for Professor Keith J. Egan
“I found Keith Egan’s tapes on Teresa easy to grasp, a summons to further study, and most of all a firm but gentle invitation to deeper prayer. Particularly, I loved his concise yet profound explanation of Teresa’s Prayer of Recollection.”– Fr. Tracy O’Sullivan, O. Carm., Pastor Emeritus, St. Raphael Parish, Los Angeles“In our formation classes for new members, we have used Prof. Keith Egan’s DVDs of Come, Pray with Carmel. We have found his lectures perfect for an overview of Carmel’s tradition of prayer. It made us want to look further into the history of Carmel and all of the traditions that have led us to where we are today. His personal comments were insightful as our new member loved what he said about prayer being leisure for God. The study guide also helped her to ask questions after we watched the DVD.”– Sister Carol Sachse, O.C.D.

Excellent!!!
Dr. Egan provided an excellent introduction to John of the Cross and will now go back again and read John of the Cross’ writing with new lenses.

John of the cross was well presented, using authentically Catholic information and a reputable and knowledgeable speaker. Sadly, other audio cd’s I have purchased have been addressed by speakers who reference dissenters as source info and I found them to be liberal and too new agey for my taste.

The speaker is clear and precise and can understand him nicely. I also like the study guide very much. What you may miss in the lecture is found in the study guide.
