ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A book, like any other worthwhile endeavor, is a team effort. I was blessed to have a great team alongside me every step of the way at Tyndale House Publishers, with people who believed in this project from the beginning.

Likewise, everyone at the Unlocking Potential Foundation provided both inspiration and hard work. Whenever I get stuck, I think of them and the work they do.

My husband, Frank, as always, was a constant source of encouragement and wise counsel. Our granddaughters, Kara and Morgan, gave me someone to talk to in my mind when the words did not flow easily onto the page.

And three other special acknowledgments:

To Ashley Wiersma: Thank you for truly understanding the purpose of the words on these pages.

To Casey Enders: Thank you for your passionate commitment to bringing these ideas to life.

To Frank Sadler: Thank you for your steadfast loyalty and determination to see this through.
