DeDication

T his book is dedicated to Landon Howse, myoldest son. I pray that you, Landon, will alwaysbe a student of the Word of God as you seek to applya Biblical worldview to every area of your life. May you be a bold and courageous leader that defends and proclaims the truth of Christianity even in the face of Americas ever-increasing hostility to Biblical truth.

With love and thankfulness for you,

D ad
