Book description
He spent his growing-up years living for himself-recklessly rebelling
against his evangelist father's faith, numb to God and to the letters
his father wrote him, immersed in the dark side of life. Until one
intense night in the Jamaican Blue Mountains that allowed him to see
himself in the mirror of grace, changing everything. The Secret Life of
a Fool is Andrew Palau's unforgettable journey of running from God-and
the crushing, freeing experience of coming back to Him. It is a story of
getting high, burning up cars, being stranded in Europe, surviving a
near-fatal plane crash, and utter despair overcome by simple grace and a
father's love, expressed in excerpted letters throughout this book.
Andrew Palau, son of international evangelist Luis Palau, is an
evangelist in his own right-organizing outreach events worldwide for the
Palau Association and regularly sharing the gospel with tens of
thousands. Andrew can be heard on the daily radio program Reaching Your
World, which is on more than 850 radio stations in 27 countries. He and
the Palau team have also been featured in some of the world's leading
media outlets including the Associated Press, Forbes Online, The
Washington Post, CNBC Asia and USA Today. In addition, Andrew maintains
his own website, which receives 5,000 visitors a month. He and his wife
have three children and live in Portland, Oregon, close to the world
headquarters of the Palau ministry.
