Читать книгу Deserted - Nathan Roberts - Страница 5

I want to begin by thanking my wife, Emilie. Her continued love, support, inspiration, conversations, and hospitality make my writing, and my life, possible.

Thank you to Ben Barnhart for combing out the snarls in my sentences. To alxndr jones for making the illustrations so beautiful and profound. To the team at Wipf and Stock for believing in this book. To everyone who listened to me tell and retell these stories at the School House and over cups of coffee. To everyone who read and reread drafts of this book, especially Jeremiah, Rev. Lawrence, Rev. Bonnie, Luke, Gina, Andrew, Sarah, Jimmy, Michael, Rozella, Dr. Ulysses, Suzanne, Karen, and Keith. To Walter for giving me a chance to be on the radio. To Rev. Debbie, Rev. Russell, and the House of Mercy for introducing me to the Midrash and reteaching me to read the Bible. To my First Lutheran family, my Minneapolis UCC family, the Salt Collective writers, the Kimpurs, and my Kenyan family for so many wonderful years of reading the Bible in community together.

And finally to you. I sincerely appreciate you sharing your time with us, and I hope you continue to retell and rearrange these beautiful stories.
