Description
Glad You’re Here is a sweet story about how pastor Craig Cooper befriended country singer Walker Hayes. At the time, Walker was not a Christian and wanted nothing to do with Jesus or the church. He reluctantly attended church at his wife’s request. During that initial service, Craig greeted Walker and told him, “I’m glad you’re here.” Walker didn’t become a Christian that night but due to Craig’s authentic love, they began a friendship that God used to draw Walker to Jesus.
Glad You’re Here is a heartwarming story and a great encouragement for Christians to be faithful and present with the people God has placed in their lives. I first came across this book when Trillia Newbell, an acquisitions editor at Moody Publishers, shared about it on Instagram.
I first became familiar with Walker when his hit song Fancy Like went viral for its dance moves. Before that, he had written a song called Craig which speaks to Craig’s faithfulness and details how their friendship began. Much of the book focuses on how that friendship flourished and how it continues today as the Hayeses and Coopers are next-door neighbors.
