    Practical, insightful and challenging.

  2. Biagio

    I liked her presentation on the psalms.

    I liked her presentation on the psalms and how they are used in our tradition. Little is known on the psalms by most people in churches, so this is a great aid to their knowledge and prayer.

  3. Kathleen

    Absolutely enlightening!

    The Psalms, The Prayer of the Church has been absolutely enlightening. I pray the Liturgy of the Hours daily; I am praying the psalms in a new light. I do wish I would have had access to such powerful presentations at a younger time in my life. However, I am never too old to continue learning. Thanks for “Now You Know Media.”
