Although he was labeled as not being “college material,” Dave was hesitant to settle into a life of working in the gear business.

Memos from the Head Office

Perry Marshall is an engineer, yet his most recent book on prayer, Memos from the Head Office, is anything but engineered. Perry says that we have excessively and obsessively formulated our time with God. In the book, he encourages us to look at this time in a fresh and unconventional way, Plus, in the book's appendix, Perry presents one of the most straightforward and gentle presentations of the Gospel that we've ever seen. In fact, that might be the best reason to buy the book.
