As individuals, we mature and progress in our relationship with God. We also mature and progress in our understanding and application of God's Word. Our world, nation and community need the message of Jesus' Gospel teachings of grace through tolerance more than ever. There is a need for wise and effective teachers and witnesses of those teachings. Besides spiritual leadership there is a need for loving tolerance of people with different beliefs and lifestyles. Just as Jesus modeled such behavior towards those he personally encountered, we as his believers need to model such a lifestyle. May we always be reminded of the great admonition from Billy Graham, "It's the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge, and my job to love." The believer's academic understanding of scripture has little meaning unless there is day-to-day application of our faith knowledge. May God forgive us when we fail to be the peacemakers in our communities. May his grace through tolerance enable us to become his voice and his actions in our walk with him.

It has been said that only eight percent of people ever achieve their goals. These people are exceptional -- they are the pioneers, trailblazers and trendsetters that define each generation.

Kentucky Innovators: Famous (and Infamous) Kentuckians Who Led the Way in Their Field presents seventy-five exceptional Kentuckians who have made significant contributions from across many walks of life. They include groundbreakers across many diverse fields including entertainment and the fine arts, education and literature, business and industry, science and technology, politics and the military, athletics, and more. Several of these innovators are famous and a few are less known, but all achieved greatness in some form. Anyone with ties to the state will be encouraged to learn of the proud heritage and accomplishments made right here...in Kentucky! Read Kentucky Innovators and learn how folks from the Commonwealth have contributed to this nation, and indeed, the entire world!` Kentucky pastures due to the fertile soil. The state has also provided the fertile soil for the growth of the individual spirit that produces innovations to add to the quality of life for people around the world. This book attempts to examine a number of those individuals in the state's history who are innovators. This book has several purposes: first, to educate Kentuckians about their proud individual heritage and accomplishments; second, to encourage our state leaders to provide more business and economic incentives in helping the innovators to remain in Kentucky for research and production purposes; and third, to inspire our youth to be challenged by their fellow Kentuckians who have succeeded in personal innovations. It would be great to see this listing of respected Kentucky innovators grow exponentially statewide because of increased awareness of the importance of education, research, and industry. With the advances of technology and communication, Kentuckians have every opportunity to continue to accomplish important progressive innovations.
