Overview

Great Saint Teresa, the Spanish Carmelite of the sixteenth century, captured the imagination of those seeking God in her own time and beyond. It's no surprise that she was quickly canonized and, in 1970, became the first woman Doctor of the Church. Teresa of Jesus, as she was known, was a stunning storyteller whose profound books share her innermost struggles to grow in prayer and contemplation. Now you can encounter Teresa and her moving words with grace and understanding. Through these twelve edifying lectures, you'll come to understand why her teachings remain transformational today. Professor Egan will carefully guide you through Teresa's teaching about prayer, meditation, and contemplation. Through these twelve graceful talks, you will come to more fully understand prayer as Teresa did, as an exercise in love. Teresa's wisdom will stir your heart and intensify your desire for God's lavish love. Walk with her as she shares her story of prayer.
