From: Climbing the Mountain, v.2005, page.147  [by Anne, a lay apostle] Anne, a mother of six, began receiving interior locutions from Jesus regarding a renewal of faith in the world.  This book is about that.  The Bible should be received with genuine faith.  In addition, people are free to accept or reject these true private revelations.
