the man you wanted at your right hand ... running a war room.

"Though prominently featured and portrayed professionally as well as personally in what can only be described as an extraordinarily positive light throughout this new book by its author, I continue to be precluded from revealing information acquired during a professional relationship with any client absent that client's informed consent." - Dr. Charles Oswald
