Two million words across twelve books written in a year. Four are published and eight will be written in the next fortnight or two. I have sacrificed much friends I have trusted I have also betrayed and I cannot undo it. But I stand by what I did because to not do so would have been worse. Still, I thank those who supported me to persevere when it would have been very easy to give up. My Aunt Joan Watson and my late grandmother Mary MacMahon and their respective offspring are big motivators for me. My cousin Dé Hurwits and his family. My students John Tran, Remi Oh, The Sosins, and their families. My Happy Cup Cabramatta friends Tuan, Christine and Helen. My online colleagues Stephanie Carroll, Mandy McLean, Phil Box, Jenny Vuong, Daniel Katz, Don Kramer and all their families. My close friends from Jesus Family Cabramatta and Marrickville, especially Timothy Ly, and those rogues from Inspire Church and the wonderful former US Army Chaplain John Morris and our Gathering. Also, Edu-Kingdom Bankstown’s William and Anne. This work is not over, the journey is not ended, but definitely we have reached a landmark. Some very special people I cannot name PFB, SLW (nee B) and TMN. Because the dream of tomorrow is the hope given by God. And lastly, thank you to my ‘daughter’ Tammy. Sometimes I long to go home. But, then I remember you are here, Tammy, and I want your future to be bright.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost (Stopping by woods on a snowy evening)

Father, you know the IPA (Institute of Public Affairs) and John Roskam, who used to work for my late father. I want my books to reinforce their campaign for free speech. Father God, the work is not complete. Not even as I finish with it. I have failed in my work I dedicated to you. But that is ok. I don't want it to be about me. I don't want people to read it and hear me, but know you. Such a failure is better than any of the wildest successes I might imagine.

I was raised as an Atheist. I learned, after reading the Bible, that God loves me, and you. This is his song for you too. He loves you, and wants to be with you.
