Ashley discusses the joy of unpacking all of her books in Colorado.
The first book discussed is by, Timothy LaHaye, the famous evangelical pastor and author who passed away on July 25. He wrote The Left Behind series, but also co-authored a book with his wife Beverley entitled The Act of Marriage: The Beauty of Sexual Love.
