In GTFU: A Journey of Faith, Adan Castillo tells his life story and his healing journey through faith. Born in Tulare, California, Adan was raised by his mother, a Mariachi singer who sparked his love for music. Adan grew up to become a bouncer, a construction laborer, a cook, a waiter, a painter, and eventually a correctional officer at the local county jail. In the meantime, he went through two divorces, a bankruptcy, and attended court multiple times for the custody of his kids. But his low point was when his daughter tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident, and he lost his brother and some of his friends within a couple of years. It was faith that helped him get his life back on track.
GTFU: A Journey of Faith is a moving memoir. Faith can lead people toward healing and recovery from trauma and life's other challenges. And this memoir perfectly illustrates that. Adan Castillo shares a powerful account of his life in this book. The author recalls all the momentous events that shaped him into the man he is today. All of his life's ups and downs, the joys and the sorrows, can be found in this memoir. I think his story will resonate with anyone who has ever lost family members, friends, or other loved ones in their lives. He presents his story in an engaging writing style that will appeal to all readers. I'm glad I read the book. I found it very illuminating and inspirational. Highly recommended.
