It was just very informative.

Kept our attention
This CD brought the Eucharist and Bible readings into the light of truth as the speaker reviewed the important history surrounding favorite stories. He was clearly excited about his topic, and kept our attention as he connected the dots.

Winter Survey: January 2017
The DVD “At the Table with Jesus” is one of the finest programs on the Eucharist that I have ever viewed! Father’s delivery, knowledge, sense of humor, clear presentation is one of the programs that I will continue to view and offer for study groups! I recommend this program to everyone who desires a deeper appreciation of the Eucharist! Thank you and God bless you for offering the best contemporary theological presenters and programs. The CD “Becoming the Eucharist we Celebrate” is also an excellent program on the Eucharist. Fr. Cosby’s presentation is extremely well delivered. It deepened my appreciation and knowledge of the culture and times that opened new visas and appreciation of the Great Sacrament of Love!

Fr William Burton’s lectures on “At the table with Jesus* are full of interesting information that gives a good background and also new light on certain passages in the Gospel. I found it fascinating and enjoyed it so much that I bought another set to give to a friend so she can enjoy it too.

Fr. Burton’s presentation is so outstanding, that I hardly have the words to describe it. His knowledge of the historical background within the Helenistic culture at Jesus’ time was so revealing; especially, as it related to the Eucharistic meal. I plan to look for other presentations by him. (The only drawback when ordering is that sometimes sometimes the DVDs are garbled and I have to request a replacement. But the staff kindly sends it to me.)
