Several years ago, I read Donna's book, Beloved Bridegroom. I enjoyed her insights from studying the language, culture, customs, and history of the Jews. I enjoyed her BYU Education Week classes that deal with scripture and temple symbolism.
Donna's BLOG gives interesting information about the scriptures and temple.
