I just read it and it opened up a whole new world of possibilities for having a relationship with God that I was unaware existed. Unfortunately, by her description I'm lucky if I'm entering the "first mansion", so I found that alot of what she was talking about is beyond me in any real sense. Could anyone out there comment on this, or suggest other works of a similar nature, or suggest in more concrete (sp?) terms how to move to the interior mansions (examples from personal experience would be most helpful). Thank you, in advance. | "O Lord, you deceived me, and I was deceived: Eric C.
