Acknowledgments

 

 

IT’S FUN TO WRITE acknowledgments because saying “thank you” is enjoyable. But it’s also difficult because we can’t possibly say thank you to everyone we should. Here’s an abbreviated list.

We are grateful for all the good people at Crossway who have been excited about this book and eager to make an interesting concept into an attractive read.

We appreciate Andrew Wolgemuth for always being in our corner and providing thoughtful counsel and support.

We love our churches—University Reformed Church and Third Avenue Baptist Church. It is a privilege to be in mission with and through you.

A thousand thanks to Justin Taylor. You are a great friend, editor, thinker, and encourager. It’s not an exaggeration to say this project would not have happened without you.

We’re glad to have good friends like Collin, Tullian, Josh, and Justin, who sharpen us and make us laugh.

Thanks to Mark Dever, D. A. Carson, and Tim Keller for reading through the manuscript and providing invaluable feedback. Many others read through portions of the manuscript. The book is stronger because of good push-back from a lot of smart people. Of course, we don’t claim their support for every jot and tittle.

Lastly, we thank our families. We love you deeply, but still not as well as we should.
