Acknowledgments

I want to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who guides my every move. And to my wife, Claudia, thank you for your continuous encouragement. I also want to express my gratitude to my Dad, Jim Sr., for your never-ending support and to my daughter, Madison, for your patience during the research phase of this book. Finally, my many thanks to my reviewers and editors, Pam Didner and Dr. Victoria Crittenden, for your generosity and thorough evaluations.xvi
