Author’s Testimony
Acknowledgments
Oh, give thanks to the LORD!
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the
peoples!
— 1 Chronicles 16:8 (NKJV)
I thank
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, for creating the universe and all the people
on the Earth; our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for providing the way for us
to gain Salvation; and the Holy Spirit for guiding our daily paths towards
repentance and righteousness. I also humbly acknowledge the perfect guidance I
received from God through His Holy Spirit and His Word to write this book.
I am grateful to Peter Drucker for encouraging me to write about
2,000 percent solutions and to continually seek simpler ways to help people
learn how to employ them. His faith in this method for solving problems caused
me to take the opportunity to share what I had been doing much more seriously
than I otherwise would.
I appreciate all those who have permitted me to share 2,000
percent solution methods with them. I thank them for all the insights I have
gained into teaching these methods from observing their wonderful work.
I would like to express gratitude to the members of my family
for allowing me the time and peace to work on such a huge and awe-inspiring
project for God. They made many sacrifices without complaining and were a
continual inspiration.
I appreciate my many clients who held off on their demands for
my help so that this project could receive the attention it required over the
past seventeen years. Their financial support also made it possible for me to
give this time to the Lord and to invest in the expenses required to make this
book available.
Finally, I am most appreciative of the many fine improvements
that the editor, Bernice Pettinato, made in the text. This is the thirteenth
book where she has helped me to make the messages clearer and more pleasant to
read. As always, she was a delight to work with. Her kindness made the writing
much easier. I value all she has taught me
about
writing.
I accept sole responsibility for any remaining errors and
apologize to my readers for any difficulties and inconvenience that they
encounter as a consequence.
