Buckle up and join Greg Baker as he tells of a wandering journey that led him to Jesus and, in the process, allowed him to find recovery and hope.
Gospelicious is a powerful testimony from my friend, Greg, who spent years longing for peace and security but was looking for it in all the wrong places. With raw honesty, he invites us into the brokenness of chasing satisfaction through friendships, marriage, money, and substances—only to find that each one left him painfully empty. The dark parts of his story provide the backdrop on which the light of the gospel shines even brighter. Page by page, you witness the transforming grace of the God who gave Greg a true identity, unshakable worth, and lasting hope. This book is for anyone searching for meaning or for those walking with someone who is. Greg’s story shows us what we all need most: the life-changing power and all-satisfying love of Jesus Christ.

This book may not change lives, but Greg Baker’s encounter with Jesus changed his. Gospelicious details Greg’s pursuit of temporary fulfillment and the inevitable emptiness that followed. More importantly, this book tells the story of God’s love finding Greg through a relationship with Jesus Christ, who faithfully filled what this world could not satisfy. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lam. 3:22–23).
— Kevin Bowman, retired director of family ministries and church staff, University Baptist Church, Beavercreek, OH

Jesus Christ.
