Finding your Path: Using Divine Guidance to Determine Your Life’s Direction

After selling Cram Session back in December 1998, I spent some time putzing about between various projects.  One of those projects was to write a book about asking for, receiving and interpreting guidance from one’s God.  I finished Finding your Path in the autumn of 2000, then re-edited the book in 2002 and called it finished.  However, I never took the time to make the book publicly available, until now.
