Acknowledgments
I AM GRATEFUL to my daughters, Greatness and Dominion, whose giggling play inspire me to want to leave footprints for life. I want to thank my mom, Emeline Samuel who have faithfully fulfilled the role of being a sacred parent in the absence of my dad and modeled for me what it is all about. She has been an inspiration.
To the many readers who provided helpful comments on an earlier draft. The volume you hold in your hands is much different because of their insightful comments and suggestions. The team at Soar Montessori has proven a great community of minds. I will ever be grateful. I’d like to offer special thanks to Mr. Emmanuel Akpaka. His support and insight on the content of this book, cannot be overstated.
Grace and I are in awe of the people God has blessed us with as friends and coworkers.
I also want to thank Evangelist Okpo Solomon, whose friendship, support, and informal mentorship in the writing ministry has been invaluable. Benjamin, whose manifold gifts allow me to pursue my own, for his great advice, friendship, and support.
The Victory Press team did their usual superlative job. They provided their customary top-of-the line service in taking a coarse manuscript and making it much better.
A special thank you to my sister Utomobong Samuel for her personal encouragement. I know she is always praying for me.
Finally, and foremost, I’d like to thank my wife, Grace, whose patience borders on saintliness. Grace has greatly influenced this book. I can’t imagine having written it without her being within earshot of my office.
