The cover summarizes life in many ways. It was not intentional but obvious when I looked at it later. The tree represents the many things that can interfere with a productive and rewarding life. This tree was once healthy and beautiful but now is in a state of dying. The limbs that once provided strong support are weak and failing. The eagle on a mission displays the majesty of God’s creation. The white surrounding the text of the title represents the protection that surrounds us daily—God, the creator; Jesus Christ, the savior; the Holy Spirit; a loving family; and a few loving friends. We are responsible for surrounding ourselves with these layers of protection by maintaining effective relationships with these great resources. As you go through this book, you will see a couple of points that are emphasized by bold and/or large font. This may be a revelation to some, a reminder to others, or for some, it will be very familiar and be a part of their daily life. One of my most impressive bosses referred to points like these as gold nuggets. That term has stuck with me for over thirty-five years.
