Thank You

While our names can be found on the front cover, we recognize that many others played a significant role in helping us complete this book.

The team at Master Books, we can’t thank you enough. Tim, thanks for choosing not only to read a work of fiction, but to publish it as well. Brittany, Laura, Katie, and others, you’ve been a delight to work with, and you make even the mundane fun.

Reagen, thanks for taking the manuscript we sent you and making it shine. Thanks for challenging us in every area of writing fiction and for applying your editorial expertise to produce a consistent, dramatic, and engaging story.

Casey, thanks for the long walks of plot discussion, the living room chats of character dissection, and the countless bowls of popcorn. We rely so much on your understanding of English grammar and your attention to details. We’d say you have a thankless job, but here you are being thanked . . . and you completely deserve it.

Ben, thanks for putting up with a word guy and an artsy girl. You take our spoken ideas and particles of thought and make them come alive on canvas in ways we couldn’t have even dreamed. Knowing many will judge the book by its cover, we’re so glad that you are the one helping us stand tall.

Janice, thanks for your countless prayers, words of encouragement, and happy reminders of ways we can make many details even better. Tony, thanks for the brainstorms on the plot. Steve, thanks for your editorial assistance in the nonfiction sections.

To all those in our lives, who shape our writing by walking out the experiences of the day to day with us, we love you and thank you.

Most of all, we thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank You for dying in our place and then conquering the grave. Thank You for revealing so much about who You are through Your word and world. Thank You for godly examples like Noah and for growing our own faith and understanding of You as we wrote this novel.
