On November 2, 2006, Gayle Haggard's life changed forever. That was the day that her husband, Ted Haggard, founder of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs and the President of the NAE, confessed to her the truth. In Why I Stayed,Gayle walks us through the choices she made in her darkest hours. On the day and in the months ahead, everything in her life was at stake--what she believed, the husband she thought she knew, and the church community she had worked tirelessly to establish with her husband and friends in the basement of their home more than two decades ago. Out of this crucible in her life, Gayle has discovered a newfound passion for the central message of the Bible--the liberating message of forgiveness and love. Why I Stayedis a must-read. It paints a picture of what less-than-perfect people, across this nation and all over the world, desperately need--a community of family and faith that offers healing love and a path to restoration.

However, I wonder about the motives of the author for writing this book. The initial part of the book is dedicated to events leading up to the discovery of his infidelity but a large section of the latter part of the book describes the aftermath including naming and shaming many Christian leaders and others involved in the "clean-up." I don't think putting this information in the public domain was especially wise on the part of the author as it will no doubt be read by non-Christian's and enhance their view that Christian's are divided and cruel to each other. That said, if this couple were treated in the way that is suggested in the book, maybe some lessons should be learned for the future.
I feel that the author has expressed her private emotions and circumstances in a very public way including details of her husbands sin and I'm not sure that this is the best outlet for that type of emotion.
Maybe this book will encourage others going through similar circumstances to persevere even when rejected by others in the Church. ( )
