Acknowledgments

"To all who are near and dear to me, who have made me the person that you see. To all who have taken the time to pray for me, and to push me to become the man God designed me to be. To all who have gone before me, whose lives have inspired me to reach beyond what others have believed, I love you and thank you all for giving me the encouragement and freedom to dream!"

This workbook is dedicated to all my family and friends who have played a significant part in my life and ministry. While there are many whose names may not appear in these acknowledgements due to the length it would add to this document, their contributions in my life are very important to me, to which I say to them all again… Thank you for doing your part to make me better!

However, I would like to acknowledge a few people who have in their own way inspired and encouraged me in life, and more specifically to complete this manual:

To my wife Marsha, who has extended her love, grace, and patience to me. She knows first-hand and personally understands the implications of the material presented in this manual. Because now, after all that she knows about me after 30 years of marriage, she would agree that having the information in this manual, would have spared her the pain of marrying me…laugh people…it’s a joke.

To Dr. Nicolas Ellen and Dr. Mark Haywood, who encouraged me to begin chronicling and publishing the information that I have written for over 25 years.

To my brother Joseph Chinn, who has served as a copy editor and contributor to this manual.

To my accountability partners Kenneth Basile and Minister Daryl Woods (before he went home to be with the Lord), who have always prayed for and pushed me to use all of my gifts
