Hard to understand speaker
I was so excited to receive this CD set and listen while on a long trip. The problem was, I couldn’t understand the presenter! Just about very sentence trails off and you cannot hear the last few words, plus when the presenter talks very low at quite a few times and it was so distressing to try to listen to this.
The subject matter is wonderful otherwise. Too bad you can’t relax while listening to it.

Father Hughes taught me the meaning behind the parables. If you do not know the context of the Bible, you can get some very bad ideas about what is being said.
