Special thanks to Dr. Sam Westman Burton for reviewing this study. His insights and encouragement were so very helpful. Sam spent a career as a missionary church planter and educator. He published two books: The Church of the New Testament: Its Organization and Functions and Disciple Mentoring Theological Education by Extension.
I am also very grateful for the tremendous effort of my son, Sam, who helped to edit this study and is responsible for launching the HeartsBurning.com site.
