A DEDICATION FROM MY HEART

“To the true leaders of this world and for those who are passionate about influencing others to rise higher than themselves!”

To my devoted wife Stacie, who I love with all my heart and who happens to be my best friend. Thank you for sticking with me for so many years. My creative daughter Brittanie, my wonderful twins, son David Jr. who is inventive and Daina my imaginative daughter. Your belief in me is much appreciated.

To my father James II, thank you dad for teaching me what a good work ethic was all about. To my wonderful mother Mary, who would always go without so her children would have. Thank you for your continued prayers and your faith in me and reminding me since childhood that I truly have royalty in my blood.

To my circle of influence that I can easily count on one hand. “You know who you are!” Thank you for your words of wisdom, your encouragement and your willingness to burn the midnight oil with me no matter what the reason.

To my spiritual father, Pastor Randy Morrison, at STWCI whose example is impeccable through a humble heart and steadfast integrity. Thank you for encouraging me through your leadership and helping me to see that I should live by design and not from crisis to crisis.

To my mentor, Dr. Myles Munroe, at BFMI who inspired me to not only talk like a King, but to live like a King. I want to thank you personally for your words and example of authority that continues to build my confidence and shape my reality.

To the late Jack (King) Kirby, who inspired me as an artist, writer, editor and a person. No one really knew that you were a modern day Albert Einstein with a heart of gold. A devout follower of his Jewish faith. “What an influence!” All he wanted was to be appreciated for his God-given talents in a cruel world.

To the late Finis Jennings Dake, who inspired me to attain a deeper understanding of the bible through his supernatural ability to flawlessly quote Scripture, earning him a reputation as the “Walking Bible.” Like all renown Pastors with busy ministries, he was also able to write several books which included his commentary notes in the Dake Annotated Reference Bible. The results of Pastor Dake following his destiny in life created a floodgate of Pastors with busy ministries becoming authors of many books.
