Testimonials
What readers are saying after they closed the book — and finally stopped hiding.
Honest words from honest readers.
These are not polished endorsements. They are the responses of pastors, leaders, and believers who found a mirror in these pages — and, for the first time in a long time, permission to be seen.
I read this book in one sitting with the door locked. I have been preaching for 22 years and never once felt permission to be this human. Andre' didn't just write a book — he wrote what I couldn't say out loud.
This is not a self-help book. It is a confession, a warning, and a lifeline. I underlined half of it and cried through the other half. If you are hiding anything, read it.
I have never read anything so raw from a preacher. Andre' pulled the mask off — his own first — and made it safe for the rest of us to breathe. This book changed how I lead.
He wrote from the rubble, and somehow — in the middle of my own — I finally felt found. This book met me in a place no sermon ever has.
Grace met them in the rubble.
I was two hours from walking away from ministry when a friend handed me this book. I did not walk away. I walked into honesty instead. That is what Andre' gave me.
Every leader carrying a secret needs to read Diary of a Troubled Preacher. Andre' does not preach at you. He sits beside you in the ashes and tells the truth.
I am not a preacher, but I am a believer who has been hiding for years. This book gave language to a shame I could never name. I feel less alone. That is everything.
Written from the rubble, not the pedestal — and you can feel it on every page. Andre' has done something brave here, and the church desperately needs it.
Did the book meet you where you are?
Send a note — anonymously if you need to. Your words may be the permission slip another leader needs to stop hiding.
Grace can meet you in the rubble too.
If any of these words sound like your story, take the next step. Read the book — or reach out for confidential support. Andre' will meet you where you are, not where you pretend to be.
