[Oe List ...] David Marshall's IRON BOY Launches Today

[Debra Harris]

I ordered it on Kindle and just started reading it- thank you David for your perspective and insights. 
I encountered and joined the Order in 1984 when I was 26 and often wondered what is was like to grow up in the Order, especially in the earlier years. 
Sincerely,Debra Harris WatsonHouston

Dear Former Order Colleagues & Friends,

Sunday “House Church” Blastoff! (Father’s Day - appropriate launch day since Order fathers loom large in this book)

IRON BOY is officially for sale today on Amazon as both apaperback and e-book.

The Iron Man statue is still alive and well in Fifth City sixtyyears later. In 2021, I visited Chicago with my wife, daughter, son, and theirpartners, and we all went to visit Fifth City and the Iron Man—they for thefirst time. Attached are some photos, of me in front of the Iron Man with theProgram Center in the background where I took part of the Academy, thestill-running “Iron Man Can” Fifth City Preschool, and my old elementary school,now renamed Leif Ericson Scholastic Academy. 



Also a vintage wintertime Iron Manstatue photo that I used for the front cover of IRON BOY.

And finally a little artifact from that era I just received.I visited my 93-year old dad Gene and 91-year-old step-mom Joyce in Texas recently, and theygave me this seven-inch-tall metal Iron Man statute that they had picked up alongthe way from the Wichita Religious House. Did all the Religious Houses have one?

When I raise up my hands like the Iron Man, I think of thesewords from the Order song, “Free, free, free to decide, what this world isgoing to be.” We've still got a lot of work to do!

Much appreciation for putting up with my 10-week House Churchcountdown to IRON BOY’s debut. If you read it, or share it with others, pleaselet me know the impact. You can obtain both the paperback and e-book now on Amazon,and through other bookstores soon.
