Recommended
for Each Learning Group:
The following books are suggested as a prayer supplement for each learning
group; they are written by a LIMEX graduate and utilize the theological
method used in the LIMEX program. If groups find them helpful, they
can continue to use them throughout the program. These books are expensive
(approximately $145.00), but you can usually purchase the volume that
corresponds to the liturgical year (A, B, or C) in which your group
is studying for about $50.00.
