This study is affectionately dedicated to my wife, Young Soon, our daughter Ruth Sunlye and our son Allan Joseph (AJ). You have supported me through this whole project and now you are working with me to live what has been presented here. The new chapter in our lives has finally begun.
This study is also dedicated to all the generations of the L’Abri Family, past, present, and future. May you always be known for the mark of the Christian that you have taught, in principle and in practice, true truth in its most complete form.
