Dedicated to my loving wife, who so graciously sacrificed time so I could live my dream.
To my excellent team of Beta readers, Gary, Heidi, and Lena, who helped transform this story from a bunch of ramblings into the masterpiece it is today. To my sister, Brittany, who was always an encouragement and help with all things related to writing, and is the best editor I could have had work on my book. I also dedicate this work to my mom, who imparted a small share of her genius to me.
And finally, I dedicate this work to Jesus, my Messiah, who forever changed me from the creature I was and gives me the honor of serving Him.
