An Unlikely Friendship
Walker was a hard-living atheist singer-songwriter who was at a low point. Craig was a pastor with dreams of being used greatly by God, but life hadn’t turned out like he thought it would. The unlikely friendship of these two changed both of their lives. Hear the story of Walker Hayes and Craig Cooper on Chris Fabry Live.

His single "Craig" -- a song about a neighbor who reached out to Hayes in a time of need -- was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2018 AIMP Nashville Awards and prompted Walker to start the Be a Craig Fund to help other families during their own times of need. A new version of the track featuring MercyMe is on Walker's album, Country Stuff the Album. The song inspired this book.
