Gallant Fool

This book consists of ten chapters and sixteen essays. The essays describe my relationship with Christ through my ministry career and how I experienced the grace and miracle of God through life's twists and turns, from salvation, through adversity, and finally to restoration. The ten chapters describe my unhealthy relationship with shame and anxiety and how I finally acknowledged them and found peace. 
Shame and anxiety are formidable foes. They found root in me in my very early years, laid concealed behind masks and covers, through salvation, and the following years when I prepared to become a pastor. I built false foundations of striving and performance to protect me until the very end, when I had no position or status behind which to hide.
