Hi everyone I was just wondering has anybody has read crossing the Red Sea, since bob first made this post. I'm curious because I know A.M. personally and would like to know what his book says, but I don't want to pump any money back into UBF. A few months ago when I visited A.M. he told me it was available at Tate and I even had my picture in it from an older conference, Yee Haww! but seriously, I've known him for several years and to the best of my knowledge he is not into the abuse/manipulation that is UBf, however UBF did "make" him, i.e got him off the streets, pushed for him to get a job, got him a wife, etc. So he is very pro UBF and believes in the sheparding/ 1:1 style movement. Just my 2 cents.

In Christ,
Robert
