There is a thirst that survives full wells. A boy stood at a deep well with no rope and no bucket. And your life, whether you have named it yet or not, has a well like it.
Available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
“Religion is transport. Fellowship is acquaintance.”
A boy stands at the rim of a deep well, thirsty, with no rope and no bucket. A woman stands over another well with the same problem, and a Stranger sitting on its rim asks her for a drink. Between those two wells lies the whole story of religion without acquaintance: baptized, attending, serving, and unsettled all the way, carried for years on the saddle of a Rider we can name but have never met.
A Genuine Fellowship is about coming out of the trees. Written with a builder’s eye and a shepherd’s patience, it walks seven movements, the ground, the Cornerstone, the radius, the plumb line, the load, the joints, and the city, from the first honest question to a life governed from the Center.
Along the way it faces the questions believers actually carry: prayers that seem unanswered, fires we did not light, quarrels among the servants of God, love and its counterfeits, work, doubt, and the long walk back.
No mask survives the journey. No reader is left outside it. The cross is the radius. The Center holds. And the door of this fellowship carries one sentence: “him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
From the well named Nopech to the city with foundations: ground, Cornerstone, radius, plumb line, load, joints, city.
Not homework but wells on the way. Each chapter ends in Selah, and each practice walks what was read into an ordinary week.
A twelve-session guide for groups and families, and a thirty-day journey of renewal for one reader with a month.
The book’s opening chapter is open here for subscribers: the road from childhood, the well named Nopech, and the woman at Sychar with her jar.
Leave your email and the chapter opens right here on the site, read on-screen like a page of the book itself. Nothing to download, nothing to install. Subscribers are also the first to hear the day the book goes live, and the first to receive news of the books to come.

A letter only when there is news: the release day, the next book. No noise, and you may leave the list whenever you wish.
Two more rooms in the house: Underlines, a searchable library of the book’s most underlined lines with copy and share buttons, and a dark reading mode on every page, found beside the menu, for those who read when the lights are low.
A new page on this site: one question from the Scriptures each week, carried for seven days before its answer opens, and a twelve-question quiz drawn from the verses the book leans on. Come and draw.
A Genuine Fellowship: The Cross Radius is now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. The buttons above carry you straight to it.
Before publication, eight numbered advance copies went to pastors, elders, and fellow servants, with one request: test the book against the Scriptures. Their commendations will appear here as they arrive.
An Amharic rendering of the opening chapter has begun, and a second book is taking shape. News of both will appear here first.
“Your thirst is not a malfunction. It is a map.”
Kibrom Gero Gebre was born in Bonga, in the green highlands of Kaffa, Ethiopia, the region where coffee was born. A civil engineer by profession, he has spent his working life among soils, foundations, plumb lines, and load calculations, which is why his writing keeps reaching for a builder’s tools whenever it needs to tell the truth about a soul.
He met Jesus Christ at thirteen, on a night of calling he has kept for another book, and has walked with Him since, a journey he sums up in two words: mercy and goodness. He serves among the people of God in congregation and in youth fellowship, in the word and in prayer.
A Genuine Fellowship: The Cross Radius is his first book. More is being written.
