I did read your Grace [manuscript] last Sunday and I absolutely love it. A dozen scriptures came instantly to mind that now have wonderful new insight. [My husband] read it too and also was excited about it. I took a little time to try to find a scripture where grace could not be defined as knowing God and I couldn’t find one. One way or another, they all boil down to that.

Even go with Come, Come, Ye Saints: Knowing God shall be as your day, or in other words, as you live your day, so shall you know or not know God. I am so eager to have you do more on the subject. It’s one of those "aha" moments that makes many things make sense. Of course learning to know God is indeed what it is all about. Everything. Everything.

From Matthew 25 to Abraham 3 to 2Nephi 2:2, and Laman and Lemuel who murmered “because they knew not the dealings of that God who had created them.” Oh there are so many more. Truly truly by Grace you are saved. It totally defines the grace works connection. And of course it truly defines why Grace without personal revelation is impossible.

In short, I couldn’t be more pleased with your thesis. Understanding is such a precious gift. Thank you.

It made me extremely anxious for you to read two of my books. I dance around the edges of this insight in both of them, but without the kernel that explains it all. I only wish I’d had you to quote.
