is meant to be a contemplative experience that takes
the reader out of the everyday world and into a state
of gratitude and reverence. The CD-ROM contains a
slide show of 35 of the Spirit Books, powerpoint
presentations on the development of the series and
Susan’s earlier work,writings about the Spirit
