^{I've found this to be true. Although it may be presented in a new fashion to some, this story is far from new. It comes from the originator of all story, God. It is the miraculous story found in the Bible. As Chuck Missler puts it: God used 40 authors, to pen 66 books, over a couple thousand years, and have it tell the past, the present and the future is beyond all comprehension. So first and foremost I thank God for His story and all it means for us, His children.}

^{I thank Him also for my wife, Diana, who has stood by me through everything and is much of my encouragement for life itself. She also helped to write, proof and edit.}

^{I've been writing this book in my head for the last six years. There have been many; Harold Sala, Roger Oakland, A.E. Wilder-Smith, John Courson, Chuck Smith, Dr. Paul Brand, Henry & John Morris, Philip Yancy, Max Lucado, the entire "Graham" family and others who have influenced me. Bob Shank's MASTER'S PROGRAM helped me to focus on what is truly real and important, not only for this writing but for all areas of life. An incredible day seminar with John Eldredge (an actor who puts on the "Sacred Romance" series) was the influence for using a play reading for this presentation.}

^{And thanks Jesica for proofing & re-proofing (any remaining misstakes are mine).}

^{Hope to see ya'll at "Supper."}
