ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thank you doesn’t seem adequate to convey my gratitude to the following people.

James Hill, Kirt Ruby, Kurt Hemphill, and Scott Kizer have faithfully ridden the roller coaster of trust building with me. They’ve been encouragers, motivators, and, frankly, saved my life and marriage.

Bryan Atkinson counseled Shelley and me through the first couple of years. Thank you for not giving up on me even after I gave you plenty of reasons to.

Jason Lohse, without whom this book would never have been written: thank you for the ongoing reminder that God’s grace, seen in the redemption of our marriage, shouldn’t be kept a secret.

Stephen Arterburn, thank you for believing in me and for your willingness to share what God has done in redeeming our marriage. You’ve gone above and beyond with your generosity.
