Falling Down is the autobiography of Nashville musician and singer-songwriter Jeremy Neely who likens his experiences to those of the prodigal son.
Despite growing up in a loving and stable Christian family, Jeremy fell into a pit of pain and rejection that caused him to turn his back on God and the church to pursue his own desires. In this candid and moving account, Jeremy openly recalls how that decision led him to fall into a deeper and darker pit of substance abuse, addiction, anger, and further heartache.
Years later, after being confronted with his own mortality, Jeremy came to his senses and began searching for answers. Ultimately, his quest led him to Jesus, and Jeremy once again embraced the Christian faith.
Jeremy uses his testimony to uncover the cycle of pain and hurt that people easily get caught in, and the joy and healing that is only found in the redemption of Jesus Christ.
Get ready! Jeremy’s powerful life story will touch your heart in ways you may never have imagined.
