Dedication

To Nanci, Angela, and Karina Alcorn,
my unrivaled treasures,
each irreplaceable
and precious beyond words
&
Ron and Kathy Norquist,
travelers who walk beside us on the homeward road,
and whom we count among the King’s
greatest gifts to us.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

AS ALWAYS I AM MOST INDEBTED to my wife, Nanci, and my daughters, Angela and Karina, who helped and prayed and made me laugh during the long and occasionally dark days of this project. You are the best—I thank God for each of you.

Special thanks to Thomas Womack and Doug Gabbert, who asked me to write an otherworldly novel. Though this story is not the one any of us envisioned, without your prompting it would never have been written, and without your input it wouldn’t be what it is. Thanks also to Dan Rich, Lisa Bergren, and Rebecca Price, whose partnership I deeply appreciate, and to Tim Newcomb and Diane Meyer, who also read and offered valuable comments on the early drafts. I’m grateful too for the fine editing touches of Carol Bartley, Traci DePree, and Ed Curtis.

Thanks to Elmer and Adele Noren, Randy and Sue Monnes, Dave and Mitzie Tillstrom, and Steve and Kathy Duncan, who generously made available their perfect little getaways during and just after the writing of this book. And thanks to Ron Noren for loaning me an armful of books.

My deep appreciation to the past and present staff and board members of EPM and their spouses for their partnership in matters of eternity: Ron and Kathy Norquist (who also read the first draft), Bonnie and Dennis Hiestand, Diane and Rod Meyer, Frieda and Jim Riegelmann, Amy and Rick Campbell, Kristi and Jason Knifong, Steve and Sue Keels, Jay and Debbie Echternach, Don and Pat Maxwell, and Lawrence and Robin Green.

Many thanks to those of you who prayed for me during the writing of this book—you know who you are. If hearts are touched for eternity through it, you played a huge part.

Thanks to C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Calvin Miller, Stephen Lawhead, and others who have dared to write about other worlds so we could be better prepared for this world and the one to come.
