At the urging of his family, Dan Perry set about compiling a list of some of his "crazy sayings," meaningful thoughts, and favorite Bible verses. Those readers familiar with Perry's three previous books will recognize his compelling words of encouragement and teaching around the essentials of true Christian life and belief. What's new and wonderful about this volume is the delightful collection of laugh-out-loud sayings and the words of wisdom he has gleaned over the years. Those new to Perry's work will be completely engaged by the multi-dimensional voice of this Kinston, NC attorney who has dedicated his life to helping others become good Christians. In this latest volume, Perry reinforces three core values he has embraced throughout his life: a child-like happiness in everyday living, a deep and enduring love of family, and a solid commitment to the Christian life.
