ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The author wishes to acknowledge the encouragement
and the spiritual strengthening influence of his wife Faye,
who also provided editorial help and artistic expression.
Thankfulness is also expressed to Raymond C. Treat
of the Zarahemla Research Foundation for his
editorial assistance and for his candid acknowledgement
of his own "paradigm shift".
Most importantly, I am so very, very grateful
for the words of Mormon -
"I searched among the records..."
These few words have sustained me and encouraged
me to pray more, to search deeper, and to
praise God more fervently
for the revelation experiences I have received from
His Spirit.
DEDICATION
To the memory of Mormon and Moroni
who gave their lives in service to
Jesus Christ
in behalf of their brethren.
To all the faithful servants of the Lord
who wrote, that we might
have the treasured record
of their ministry.
