No book is the exclusive work of a single author, and this one is no exception. Several people have made significant contributions. Foremost is my wife, Leslie, who has shared with me the spiritual journey that made this book possible. In addition to giving me consistent encouragement and support, Leslie read and reread each chapter, offering numerous insights that helped shape the final product. She truly has the patience of Job. Frank Grey is a partner with Leslie and me in this ministry, and also provided many significant recommendations. As a professional graphic designer, he also designed the cover and other graphics. Carol Hansen operates a partner ministry, Life Line to RLDS (www.lifeline2rlds.org). She also read the manuscript offering both encouragement and recommendations. Thanks also to Diana Wallis of Wallis Editorial Services. She not only gave the book a thorough edit, but provided fresh perspectives on a number of theological issues. And finally, I want to thank everyone who upheld me in prayer during the writing of this book. Some of you are known to me, others are not. Writing this kind of a book elicits attack from the enemy of our souls. Your intercessory prayers helped me weather the storm and complete the work.
