This book is dedicated to:
 

    My wife, Ruth, whose support, faithfulness, and sacrificial love are so beautifully modeled in the statement, "She is velvet-covered steel: Proverbs 31 is alive and well in my wife of over twenty years. I am a grateful husband.

    My son, Jeremy, a godly young man whose time and tenderness were given to me during my recuperation and continue to be given to all to this day.

    
My daughter, Kim, whose patience and wisdom with the disabled is beyond her years, yet fresh enough to minister with sensitivity to the smallest need at any time or in any situation.

    
My son, Jason, without whom our lives would have never been complete and who has changed us to be more like our Savior. His ministry in our lives and to those around the world is not because of his disability but because of his ability being molded by God into his character and likeness.
