This is a very touching and moving final episode to this series of episodes featuring Agusta's story. All three of us, Agusta, Lynn and myself were in tears at the end, but it was a holy movement full of wonder at God's grace in all our lives, but especially Lynn and Agusta's.

Agusta continues to tell her fascinating story and her pursuit of "it." God finally revealed this missing piece and Agusta immediately knew when she had found "it." Dan also had an encounter with grace, and once again their lives radically changed. It wasn't long before they suffered tremendous loss - job, friends, status - and some incredible hurt from the people that once were their closest friends. It's a humorous and stirring episode of courage and trust in God in the midst of trial that inspires hope when life gets really rough.

Can I have a direct relationship with God without organized religion or the Church? We must figure out truth. Performance based religions have an authority based structure of who can hear from God. Jesus is our mediator, we have direct access no need for anyone else but is there a biblical paradigm from hearing from God?

Warnings were given to Anna to be careful of what she read or researched because the devil is working against the one true church. Preparing to be baptized and join the Mormon Church she was so baffled when she began to see the church was hiding many things. The difference between what the Bible said and what the Book of Mormon said was drawing her to question what is truth.
