Many thanks to everyone at Multnomah: To my editor, Adrienne Spain, you are truly a gift. Thank you for your commitment to this project. To David Kopp, executive editor, for our new friendship and for your immeasurable wisdom. To Jason Myhre and Tiffany Lauer, marketing directors, for believing.

Thank you to the many who have journeyed with us over the past decade of ministry to teens and their families. Special thanks to Kimberly and Dan Klaver—you know my love!

To all my family, and especially Kent and Jeremy, for all the great stories we’ve made in life so far. I love you like brothers … oh yeah, you are my brothers. To my girls—you are my joy. To my wife, you are everything.

To God. Thank you for taking control of my life and saying, “Watch this!”
