From The Crack House To God’s House

From the Crack House to God’s House
One Man’s Journey Through Addiction, Survival, and Deliverance
Some men fall far enough that the fall itself becomes the testimony.

Gerry Gooding was a husband, a father, and a professional living a double life that crack cocaine was slowly consuming from the inside out. What began as a single hit in Columbus in 1986 became a decades-long war fought across highways, hospital rooms, treatment centers, and streets he had no business walking alone at night. He lost jobs. He lost time. He nearly lost his family. He nearly lost himself – standing on a bridge over a train yard in Cincinnati with one leg over the rail and a calculation running through his mind that only the voice of God interrupted.

He came back.

This is the story of how.

From the Crack House to God’s House moves through the wreckage and the mercy with equal honesty – the binges that lasted for days, the relapses that followed every recovery, the shame that kept him from walking through his own front door, and the grace that kept the door open anyway. It is a book for the addict who believes he has used up his last chance. It is a book for the family member who has been praying over someone who shows no sign of hearing it. It is a book for anyone who has stood at the bottom of something and wondered whether up was still a direction available to them.

God gets the final word.

And His word, Gerry Gooding discovered, is mercy – specific, persistent, and stubbornly present in the worst places a man can find himself. Walk By Faith Christian Ministries stands today as living proof that the crack house is never the end of the story.
