<p>THIS BOOK HAS BEEN A JOURNEY, and I have not taken it alone. I would like to thank my former personal assistant Dar- line Beck, for her thirteen years of undying devotion; Sy and Kathy Bonem, for helping me to be at the right place at the right time; another former personal assistant, Casey Brennan, for coming into my life exactly when I needed her; Marge and Irv Cowan, my dear friends who have been such an enormous help to me throughout my life's work; and my friend Nina L. Diamond, a writer and editor who guided this book every step of the way. Thanks to Erica and Alan, for the use of their extensive per- sonal library of books on Judaism and spirituality; to Lynn Franklin, my tireless agent and loyal friend; to Cassie Jacoby, a fellow angel devotee and truly eternal friend; to Jacqueline Janssen for her vision and faith in me, and for being a human angel who has truly helped me both professionally and per- sonally in every possible way; to Randal Jurkas, my former busi- ness and promotional manager, for all his years of hard work and his belief in my spiritual mission; to Bill Lirio, a fellow truth- seeker and friend, who is more like family; to my editor Sydny</p>
