About this audiobook
Like many of us, Andrew Palau spent his growing-up years immersed in a selfish and self-centered life, numb to God and to the letters his evangelist-father wrote him. In The Secret Life of a Fool, Palau recounts his years of rebellion and reckless living-and the moment when the shame of his life collided with God's relentless grace, changing everything. It's an unforgettably gutsy story, packed with honesty and hope for us all.
