Acknowledgments

I am deeply grateful to friends and colleagues who sacrificed their time to assist me with this endeavor. Kevin Barney generously read and commented on the New Rendition. My sounding board included Craig Harline, Keith Lane, Jennifer Lane, Rico Martinez, Ben Peters, Mike Pope, Joseph Spencer, Thomas Wayment, Mark Wright, and Walker Wright. Kim Berkey, Erica Eastley, Ellen Ellsworth North, Emily Page, and Jenny Webb read early versions of the book; Dave LeFevre read a later version. Lauri and Jeremy Baird, Mary Ann and Rob McFarland, Matt and Scharman Grimmer, Richard and Angela Ross, Carol Armga, and Jeannie Welch made my work easier. Jack Welch and Eric D. Huntsman provided exemplary leadership and support. The volume would not have reached its full potential without Marny K. Parkin and Jennifer Hurlbut.

Working with the BYUNTC 2016 Summer Seminar was one of the highlights of the project; I thank Philip Abbott, Chris Brockman, Andrea Brunken, Andy Mickelson, Joshua Matson, Nathaniel Pribil, Jacob Rennaker, Ben Spackman, Nataliya Tunytska, Elicia Cheney, and Avram Shannon. Brent Schmidt, Kent Brown, and Gaye Strathearn also provided valuable feedback. Andy Mickelson’s aid was greatly appreciated. And, of course, I thank Derrick, Simon, Nathan, and Truman.
