Acknowledgements
A significant number of people have prayed for this project and for myself for quite a number of years. This includes some wonderful nonprofit Board members, pastors, a group of ten to twenty advisory-prayer individuals, and several theologian-advocates for the project. There is a larger group of individuals who have received yearly updates. I am incredibly thankful for all those prayers, and they have kept this project going. I am also clearly indebted to my wife, who has supported this project and has served as an editor, and who has patiently listened to me on this effort for more than a decade. You must understand she is patient, as ten years is a long time to hear about one book of the Bible!
