A special thanks to my dear friend Rhonda Rhea, who suggested I write this book. Great idea! Also a special thanks to my editor Vicki Crumpton and the wonderful team at Revell of Baker Publishing Group; my brilliant agent, Janet Kobobel Grant; my dear family members, who lend me their patience and support as I write book after book; and the hundreds of women of the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, my team of prayer warriors who have prayed for me through so many trials. I love you all! And of course, a special thanks to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You are my Rock.
