Golo / Staylo Jeff Gerke

Sometimes, the thing we fear becomes the thing that saves us. / A few years ago, the author blew up his life. Though a long-time Christian, he behaved in very un-Christian ways. Even when he was doing them, he couldn't understand why he was making these choices. / It's amazing the perspective you gain when you're flat on your face. And it's incredible what you may find buried in the wreckage of your own making. / Humbled and desperate, he ran to Jesus and begged for understanding so he wouldn't repeat his mistakes. / God graciously gave him that and much more. / Written in the tone of one person in an ICU bed speaking to another, GOLO/STAYLO recounts the insights the Lord gave the author for the rebuilding of his life and marriage. / The key, he learned, is to go low before God . . . and stay low. / He had long feared what would happen if it all blew up, but that explosion became the secret to the life he'd always longed for.
