The above references were either referred to directly in the text of this work, have formed the basis for some of the thoughts written therein, or strengthened my convictions. But there are so many other sources which have influenced and inspired my thinking, especially all the sermons I have heard and conversations I have had with people! It would be futile to begin listing them all. But I would like to specifically mention three sources. First, Billy Graham and his preaching. One of the most vivid memories I have is listening to a recording of him preach on New Year's Eve 1957 on dedication and total commitment to Christ. Secondly, Dr. Colin Kruse, whose humble demeanour and even-handed scholarship I experienced whilst sitting under his lectures at the Bible College of Victoria from 1998-2000. His example was an inspiration to me, and I hope that this work is faithful to the example he set. Thirdly, Sherryn & Darren Davies, whose friendship, wisdom and life-example have been a blessing more than they can imagine.

I would also like to honour my parents, Horst & Hanni Kutschker, who love me very much. I offer this work back to them as a gift, in thanks for the life they have given me.

Ultimately, now, I offer this work in humility back to God. To Him I say "thank you". Thank you, Lord, that by Your grace You have enabled me to gain this life-giving insight into how I should be living my life. Help me now to follow this way faithfully. Amen.
