v3.1

Mr. Blue Eyes, youve seen me through the lens of Christ since day one, and you called out the new me before I was even interested in meeting her. Thank you for loving me as Christ loves His bride and turning me toward the fullness of life God offers. I wouldnt have wanted to find the new me with anyone other than you, and I am so grateful for the way this miracle of transformation radically impacts the next generation, especially our children, whom we so deeply love together.

But I wish it to be distinctly understood all through, that, unless I believed with all my heart in Gods effectual working on His side, not one word of this book would ever have been written.

H ANNAH W HITALL S MITH ,

Let this be written for a future generation,

that a people not yet created may praise the L ORD .
