MY first and foremost thanks and appreciation go to Jesus
Christ. It is because of Him that I have been able to write
this book, live the stories contained therein and enjoy a life
of love, freedom and salvation. Without Him, there is no true meaning
in life. My most sincere thanks to Him for all He has done for me and
my family.
Thank you to my wife, Kimberly, and our kids: Jack, Matthew and
Catherine. You have been gracious in putting up with my craziness, time
constraints and unique sense of humor. Thank you for loving me.
A big thank you goes out to the following people for helping to edit
my book and more.
Johnnie Wesson – you are a great mother-in-law.
Hank Nuss – thanks for the brutal honesty.
Brian Enos – thanks for your humor and honesty.
Claire Grassedonio – thanks for the hard work, perseverance,
honesty and being the best Mom in the world.
Shannon Trial – thanks for the extra work.
Kari Kurz – thanks for your example, faith and how you love kids.
Ken White – thanks for your friendship, honesty, willingness to
hold me accountable, and your model of living the Christian
faith.
Lauren Brown – thanks for all the work you did on the cover of
this book.

be PubliShed in My neXt book!!
3 Minutes to God is intended to be a series of books and I need
your help. I am currently looking for stories I can use in the next book.
They can be funny, serious, poignant, outlandish or anything else – but
they must be clean. If you haven’t thought of a way to relate them to
God, it’s ok. I’ll take care of that.
Send your story, in 300 words or less, to threeminutestoGod@
yahoo.com I’ll review it and if your story is chosen, I will send you a
free, signed hardcopy of the book when it is published.
