Читать книгу Magnetic Christianity: Using Your God-Given Gifts to Build the Kingdom - Gus J.D. Lloyd - Страница 3

A project like writing a book is much like giving birth. Though I have never actually given birth, I have been intimately involved in the process. There is a lot of prayer, hard work, sweat and hand wringing involved. In the end, all you can do is put it in God’s hands.

I start by thanking my bride, Michelle. After thirty-one plus years of marriage, we are still madly in love. Thank you for your patience and insights. I think we make a great team!

It is always great to work with talented people, and Nick France is among the most talented I have had the pleasure of working with. Nick, your keen eye, knowledge and love of the Lord has made for another fun journey.

When we have the chance to work with dear friends, it hardly seems like work at all. Jim Neal, one of my dearest friends, is a pro’s pro in the industry. He has shepherded me through the process of bringing a book to life for the second time. Jim, I am so proud to call you my friend. Next lunch is on me!

Thanks to my mom, Barbara Egts, and to two dear friends, Julie Musselman and Becky Zentmeyer, for their wisdom and expertise in helping to edit the book. I am honored to call you friends.

I am grateful to all the listeners of my radio show, Seize the Day on Sirius XM. I learn so much from being a part of such a great community each day.

Finally, to my children, Emily, Carly, Patrick and John. I hope that my fatherhood in some miniscule way mirrors that of your true Father. It’s cool that you all turned out so magnetic!
