Resources
















The following is a list of books that found me when I needed their authors' wisdom and affirming truth.  Most came from the library, some were lent to me, and some that I purchased have been passed on.  But from notes I've found here and there scratched on scraps of paper, or scribbled in spiral notebooks, I can list the following authors who gradually helped me through dark and disturbing times into the light of new insight and new life.
