Glad You're Here: Two Unlikely Friends Breaking Bread and Fences

Written by Walker Hayes and Craig Allen Cooper

Narrated by Walker Hayes and Craig Allen Cooper

When Craig Cooper and Walker Hayes met, Walker was an alcoholic atheist reeling from the backlash of a failed music career. Through their unlikely friendship, Craig’s life demonstrated the love of Christ in a way that shattered Walker’s misconceptions of Christianity, ultimately leading him down the path to a dramatic conversion. The two are now close as brothers, choosing to be next-door neighbors and ripped out the fence between their homes as a testament to the power of the gospel to break down barriers and unite people together in Christ. Glad You’re Here helps us discover how building relationships, sacrificing for the good of others, and drawing near in times of need can lead to powerful transformation. Through story and biblical reflections, Glad You’re Here helps readers see how God works in the everyday lives of those who love him.

This book is the kind of book I want to share with all of the world. It's so worth your time.

I fell in love with the song Craig as soon as I heard it. Once Fancy Like became so popular and Waller Hayes name became more well known I made everyone I knew that loved Fancy Like listen to Craig. And I bragged on the story and Walkers background and how stoked I was that he was finally getting the recognition he deserves. I already loved Laney and the kids. And I always wondered if he and Craig were still in touch. This book answered all my questions, made me fall more in love with Laney, and even though I don't believe in God I didn't feel "preached at " I love this book so much!!

An encouraging true story of how God can use genuine friendship to change hearts and lives. It was great that the authors got to narrate this themselves.

This book is excellent. It lifts the spirits. It’s what being a Christian is all about. We need more stories like this one.

[Michael Wilkins · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a heart warming story how a friendship between a believer and a non-believer can not only exist but thrive. How through repeated actions, and some words, a believer's testimony can be absorbed and turn unbelief into a true faith and belief in God.

I loved this story of friendship and unconditional love between these two men and how the Lord used both of their stories for His glory! This is a very touching story and very powerful.

Loved this book and enjoyed the same story going back and forth from two different perspectives.
