AMIR DEDICATES THIS BOOK TO…

God, the true giver and sustainer of life.

My family who is always there. The Lord has walked us, and our nation, down some difficult paths this last year. I am so thankful that we are taking the journey together.

STEVE DEDICATES THIS BOOK TO…

The God who remains by my side. There is so much peace in knowing that no matter the path, I am never traveling it alone.

Nancy, who is as much a part of this book’s creation as anyone. Before, during, and after my recovery, you were always there carrying me through without complaint. God has greatly blessed me by placing you by my side.

TOGETHER, WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO…

The many victims of October 7. Whether you were killed, brutalized, beaten, taken hostage, or forced to run for your lives that day, we remember you and honor you. And for the families and friends of the victims, we acknowledge the daily suffering you go through knowing what your loved ones endured. Originating from a wounded place, this book was created to ensure that the world never forgets your torment, your sorrow, and the reason for your anger.
