Acknowledgments
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
We are most grateful for the engaging readers and inquirers of ReasonableFaith.org. Without your ongoing interest to discover answers to your questions, this book would not have been possible.
Special thanks to Moody Publishers, and specifically to editors Chris Reese and Paul Braoudakis, publicist Janis Backing, and audience development manager Parker Hathaway. We are encouraged by your enthusiasm for this project, your faithful editorial care, and your eagerness to connect readers with the benefits of this work.
We are also grateful for the diligent representation of our agent, Steve Laube. Thanks for your behind-the-scenes work, and for your persistence in advancing our conceptualization of this project’s scope and benefits.
I (Joe) cannot overstate my gratitude and affection for my wife Fera, son Samuel Isaac, and daughter Ella Joy. Each of you gave me immeasurable patience and space during this project. My dear Fera, you are the inspiration of “Questions are our friends!” and Ella and Sam, you are astute students of your mother! I am also grateful to Bill Craig for his trust and entrustment to me of this project and for his patience with me along the way. Bill, with this book, I cannot think of a more fitting way to conclude ten years devoted to serving you with your research and publishing needs. Thank you, brother!
