DEDICATION. TO MY MOTHER, A SERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST, WHO IN EARLY LIFE TAUGHT ME GOD, AND THEN LEFT ME FOR THE SILENT SKIES, I REVERENTLY AND GRATEFULLY DEDICATE THESE WORDS TO THE YOUNG, WITH THE SINCERE PRAYER THAT, LIKE HER WORDS TO ME, THEY MAY INSPIRE IN YOUNG HEARTS ABIDING AND INCREASING HOPE IN GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. |
