This was a labor of love. I would like to thank God for giving me the courage and strength to take a chance in putting this idea in print. And of course I thank my parents Dorothy and Robert Edwards for giving me the freedom to do my thing. And last but not least my brothers and friends. For giving me the fuel of excuses to keep this engine going and going and going.

It is just as untimely now. But we have become deaf to its otherness, to the disruptive strangeness of Christian faith.
