"Illuminations of the Heart" Is Here!
Illuminations of the Heart is now available for shipping at DeseretBook.com. It's also posted on Amazon with a 2-4 week wait. If you combine it with an order for Loyalty's Web from Amazon, you may have a bit of a wait but you can get free shipping. Order it from DeseretBook and it'll be on its way to you within 2 business days. It's a good deal either way!

Since I kind o
