  The poems of St John of the Cross, with their mystic depth and spiritual ecstasy, stand among the world's great poems of Divine Love in all traditions.  St John is one of the Roman Catholic Doctors of the Church, was a reformer of the Carmelite Order, and co-founder with St Teresa of Avila of the Discalced Carmelites.  Teresa invited John to follow her, and in the protocols of the times, also became her Spiritual Director and Confessor.  Many of their individual works could be considered the products of their mutual support and inspiration.   - Summary by Ed Humpal

  An unforgettable Christmas story that will make your heart soar . . . and maybe even help you see the spirit of Christmas in a new way. 
  A lavishly produced audio drama with six original songs. 
  Based on the novella by bestselling author Steven Manchester, here is an extraordinary Christmas story about four friends who discover new ways to live the Christmas spirit and the one remarkable friend who guides them all. Ava, Izzy, Kevin, Randy, and Jesse have been best friends since their freshman year of college, and they've dubbed themselves "The Thursday Night Club" in honor of the Thursday night pot lucks that served as the foundation for their relationship. Jesse, who believes that Christmas is first and foremost about giving of yourself to help others, has been trying to get the rest of the club to follow her lead, and this year – their senior year – they have finally agreed. But, of course, being the Thursday Night Club, they need to turn it into a contest. And what starts as a lighthearted competition among friends becomes something so much more as Christmas Eve draws near. 
  Starring singing sensations Kurt Hugo Schneider and Madilyn Bailey along with Alladin on Broadway's Arielle Jacobs, Dear Evan Hansen's Noah Galvin, Beautiful's Ashley De La Rosa, and two-time Golden Globe winner Kathleen Turner, The Thursday Night Club is a stunning production on every level and one you will want to revisit for Christmases to come.
