It’s with grateful hearts that we dedicate this volume to our dear friend and brother in Christ, Bob Nease. It was Bob who introduced us to each other many years ago, an introduction that has led to a wonderful friendship. And it was Bob who first suggested that we collaborate on a book, the result of which is the volume you now hold in your hand. Thanks, Bob. You’re tremendous!
