Summary: It is something of a contradiction that in writing a book the opening bit of text (the "front matter") is usually the last to be written. But this fact gives me the opportunity to make a final statement for the sake of emphasis. And here I can also acknowledge prominently the help of those who in various ways ministered to the manuscript and to me along the way.
