Incredible depth and detail that opened up the Mass Readings for me.
Please please put it on a DVD..
Great introduction to the catechism. Left me wanting more. We need a explanation on every paragraph.

The Bible is world's largest-selling, most widely-distributed, and most influential book in human history. Within the Bible, the Gospel of John is, without doubt, the most revered and beloved portion of Scripture. That makes the Gospel of John arguably the greatest document ever written in human history.
But how many realize that the Gospel of John is, in many ways, a document about the Sacraments of the Catholic Church? The Apostle John wishes to show us that the power Jesus displayed in his awesome signs is still available to us in the sacraments of the Church. Dr. Bergsma explains how in this two-hour presentation.
The CD on the seven sacraments in John was the first real disappointment I have on a CP subject. The illustrations the author gave us to back up a sacrament found in the Gospel of John was surely a stretch and had me scratching my head. The author had to go out of his way to find in the Gospel what I believe to be more to the point and accurate then this CD provided. Since I listen to the CDs on my way to work, I listened to it twice to see if I missed anything that would clear up what I was hearing. Of course, I will continue to listen to CDs by the author. He is usually very good.
It is not coincidental that the Gospel of John was dubbed as the "Gospel of Signs" because it was patterned with the 7 Sacraments which according to our faith are signs that point you forward to a greater reality and this was superbly discussed by Dr. Bergsma! I highly recommend this study material!
Again Dr. Bergsma has presented in his own uniquely weird way a very good and useful bit of information. His insights are very interesting and orthodox which is refreshing. His ability to connect the two Testaments is very helpful.
Very informative and a powerful lecture.
The entire ordering process was simple and easy and I received my merchandise within a couple of days. Much Thanks
