SO MANY PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE TO the success of a writer’s career through their encouragement, support, and expertise. With each newly published book, my list grows. My heartfelt thanks to the following people:
Rick and the wonderful, talented staff at Alive. Thank you for seeing the potential and nurturing it. Special thanks to Linda, lunch buddy, friend, and fellow servant. And to Lee, for picking up the ball and running with it.
Joey Paul at Integrity, who I admire as a publisher and as an example of Christian faith in action. And to the rest of the hardworking, incredibly talented team at Integrity who have performed marvelous things for me and for the Lord we serve. Special thanks to Rob Birkhead and David Uttley for the gorgeous book covers.
Khrys Williams and Lori Sly for reading the manuscript and making countless helpful suggestions. And for listening to me whine. Keep writing—dreams do come true!
Lisa Tawn Bergren, a wonderful writer and editor who makes my manuscripts infinitely better with her wisdom and insight. You made my stories shine.
And always, thanks and gratitude to God for the gift, for showing me how to use it, and for putting all these special people in my life.
