There are copious people to thank for their profound contributions to this book. First, I praise and honor the triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for creating me, regenerating me, and providing me with the gifts, abilities, experience, training, passions, empowerment, and determination to run this race. My deepest desire is to glorify you in my life, ministry, and writing.

To Albert and Kellie Fassbender: I cannot begin to thank you enough for your invaluable input and editing prowess (both this book and my PhD thesis!).

To Trip Wolfskehl: thanks for the ongoing encouragement and for providing the Newport Bridge graphic. You are a great friend.

To Drew Harris and Trisha Bruce: thank you for compiling the bibliography.

To Stephen Robinson: you have been a friend, mentor, and co-laborer. I praise God for your influence over my life and ministry.

To my parents and siblings: Mom, Dad, Kate, Melissa, Caleb, and Will. Thanks for your support and prayers. Ubuntu.

To the leaders and people of EFC: thank you for putting up with your intermittently distracted pastor. This book is dedicated to you.

To my wife Autumn, and sons, Landon and Kelan: you mean more to me than I can ever express. You inspire me to write. I am deeply grateful for your patience and granting me the freedom to toil in this way.

Thank you Cascade Books and my editor Rodney Clapp for believing in me and making this book possible.
