The more you get into it the more developed the themes. I have enjoyed using the Institute Manual with it.

The Book list is awesome. I will pick one or two to put on my reading list. <br />Right now I am reading Divine Signatures by Lund; an awesome book.

Isn't reading a wonderful activity. <br />Blessings to you!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-60101692302124176932011-05-09T11:05:29.631-04:002011-05-09T11:05:29.631-04:00My mom owns the movie "The Hiding Place."...My mom owns the movie "The Hiding Place."

Thanks for this. I was just at lunch with 2 of my friends and they were talking books -- it made me so that I had nothing to add to the conversation. I used to *love* reading, but I've not been reading as much lately. I'm going to add Between 2 Worlds to my list right now. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509169727773615479noreply@blogger.com
