DEDICATION

AMIR DEDICATES THIS BOOK TO…

God, all-powerful and ever-present. This past year You have shown me that no matter the trial, You are always there.

My father-in-law, Hanan Lokes, a pastor, a father, a friend, and a brother. You were a true patriarch who led this family in our pursuit of God’s truth. You read online with Mike and me the verse from Psalm 116, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints” (verse 15). Two days later, you passed into the arms of the Savior. You are loved and you are missed, and we anticipate the day we will reunite with you in the presence of our God. For now, we hold tight to the hopeful assurance of Romans 8:28 that “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

STEVE DEDICATES THIS BOOK TO…

The Almighty Creator and Sustainer of all things. Your beauty, creativity, truth, and humor are the muses that feed my passion to put words to paper.

Madeline, your joy at life lifts me, your beauty overwhelms me, your passion to educate challenges me, your laser wit ensures that I never get away with anything. You are the greatest gift God has given to your mother and me. You are my light, my Liora.
