But I cannot overlook even the smallest children in my house, even the smallest gifts we received and most simple words of encouragement because even they have really mattered to me and deserve my thanks and appreciation. Thank you <i>everyone<\/i> for helping me even in seemingly minor ways. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dedicate\">And if it were not for the support and encouragement of not just my amazing wife, Lilie Ann\u2014the prophesied \u2018Special Woman\u2019 God promised me\u2014and the wonderful team of revivalists at School of Faith under Tristan, Gabby, Willy, Allison, Anna, Chris-Elsa, Keziah, Gabe, Peter, Mayet, Agat, even Claire back in the home office &#8230; I have the whole list of names here, and it\u2019s more than 50 other world changers who I personally know, each and every one, but won\u2019t list here, but who are dear to my heart and have authentically encouraged, refreshed and even challenged me to claim more of the Kingdom: the IT consultants, the planners, the businessmen, the mysterious laughing prophet in the fields of Neuva Ecija, the happy housewives, etc.\u2014and being a missionary my faithful supporters for prayer, financial support and friendship: Daniel, Robin, Esther, Alan, Will, even you, Budi!\u2014but also the kids in my house who we take care of but who keep me young at heart and keep me laughing &#8230; if not for all of you my life, my mission, my ministry, my journey would be an impossible, insurmountable burden, but as it is, thanks to all of you, the struggle is a joy, the journey is an adventure and the destination will be all the more rewarding. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dedicate\"><em>And Jesus, <\/em>when I pray words fail me and I usually sit in your presence silent, listening with an open heart, eager to hear you speak. I know you don\u2019t like it when I get all mushy, but let me say it!\u2014<b>I hope this book is close to what you wanted. <\/b>I feel like perfection is always <i>just out of reach <\/i>and am thankful for your idea to just have a \u2018fireside chat\u2019 with the people. This subject is too serious and I take it very seriously and your suggestion gives me permission to just have some fun with it too! And I can\u2019t believe I actually managed to weave both Rainbows and Unicorns into this teaching like I did! So funny! But here it is. I know it\u2019s not perfect. But I hope you like it, and I know you do because you\u2019re like that. It\u2019s like us putting the kids\u2019 first crayon drawings up on the fridge to you I bet! It\u2019s a mess, it\u2019s terrible! Can you even tell what it\u2019s supposed to be? But you like it just the same because I drew it! I know! &#8230; and thank you Jesus for that! <\/p>\n<p class=\"dedicate\">You\u2019re a good God, a good friend to me and I wish I knew you better than I do, and a lot sooner too! OK, I\u2019m not going to make this a tear-jerker, but just thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you, the direction in how to follow you, your instructions and so much assistance with writing these books &#8230; yeah, it\u2019s really great actually. It really is!<\/p>\n<p class=\"dedicate\">So thank you, Jesus! I\u2019ll say it again\u2014thank you!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p >The <a href=\"#contents\">CONTENTS<\/a> are below, which have links to the chapters (but not the subsections), but first I\u2019ll mention I\u2018m using NKJV version for Bible quotes so if a quote is unattributed it is NKJV.
