(World’s Printing Press)

Did You Get The Memo? is the compelling story that chronicles scripture-filled memos sent to six former business executives who worked previously for a Fortune 500 company named J.C. Enterprise.

Although the former business executives always knew there was something angelic about the experience, it’s not actually until years later they get the surprise of a life-time confirming it. Without giving away the story, let’s just say their lives are forever changed, period.

They end up learning ultimately that they can’t put God in a box limiting him to religious tradition or their own personal ideals. God clearly has various ways of getting our attention, but the question becomes are we getting the message?

This book invites readers to open up their hearts and minds to recognize God’s amazing power in an everyday work environment. Beyond bottom lines and profit margins the former business executives also learn that God’s love transcends all. In the end, they discover their most important asset in life is not what they’ve accomplished or achieved but something far greater.
