Dan Perry’s memoir, More Than I Deserve, is the humble story of one man’s life, or rather the journey of that life. As the reader quickly discovers, the 76-year-old author is something of a pilgrim. And the objective of his pilgrimage is nothing less than a "closer walk" (journey) with God.
Through tales of growing up in Kinston, North Carolina, going away to prep school, making life-long friends in college, serving in the Army in Korea, struggling with law school, then returning to Kinston and settling down as a married man, a father, and a pillar of his community, this book also chronicles the development of Perry’s special relationship with God. "The Lord seems to be telling me this is not only going to be the story of my life, but He wants me to go beyond that. He wants me to tell my story with the underlying message being to pave the way and set the stage for God to move in the lives of the readers."
To accomplish his (and God’s) purpose, Perry is determined "to tell it like it is"—failures, foibles, shortcomings, and all—with good humor and self-effacing candor. |
