We've all been foolish, but Andrew Palau declares that he was among the worst-magnified by his status as the son of a popular international evangelist. This is the wildly dramatic story of what happens when a shameful life collides with God's relentless grace. 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 twenty-seven 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.
