We finally hit 'publish' on this book. It took a while, what with the digitizing of the manuscript, which had been typed on a typewriter in the 1980s; basic editing of misspellings and grammatical errors; the discovery of an inexplicably missing page (!) and the creative stitching together of the remaining pages; fact-checking and revising of tiny, mundane details mainly having to do with place names and book titles; the layout of the pages; and finally, the careful consideration of the cover design. (Somehow, we underestimated the time involved with the creation of a book, but are now eager to move on to the next project.) All this while we also worked to create video content, launch the school, and handle our own personal lives. It was a labor of love. It was the fulfillment of a man's dying wish.

We are thrilled to have delivered for you, Richard, and we hope your story brings joy and spiritual enrichment to many readers for decades to come.
