“This book will rekindle your belief in the human spirit.”
~ Kenny Loggins
As a world–renowned cardiologist who has dealt with life and death on a daily basis, Dr. Terry Gordon understood that life can change in the blink of an eye. However, in June of 2009 nothing could have prepared him for the fateful phone call he received informing him that his 20 year-old son, Tyler, had been involved in a near fatal car accident, sustaining a severe spinal cord injury that left him quadriplegic.
Dr. Gordon’s journey from the day he left Ohio to be at his son’s bedside and the profound response he received to his heartfelt prayers, resulted in a spiritual awakening and a clearer understanding of life and the truths it has to offer.
“An unspeakable tragedy . . . immeasurable blessings”
“A truly magnificent story, written by a man I consider to be one of the finest human beings I have known….One of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read.”
~ Wayne Dyer (from the foreword)
His compelling and emotional true story of surviving the fiercest of life’s storms to finding the rainbow through the clouds is documented in his inspiring memoir.
“The arc of Terry Gordon’s once comfortable future was shattered in an instant. After a phone call left them only shards of their former life, the path he and his family have taken hovers between a cautionary tale and a clarion call. This is an American story worth your attention.”
~ Nick Clooney, author, reporter (father of George Clooney)
In this book, Dr. Gordon contends that rather than lamenting so-called adversities in our lives, we can choose to be grateful for them. We can embrace them and accept them as gifts from the Divine; as they can provide fertile soil for growth and enlightenment. For anyone dealing with adversity, tragedy, grief, emotional or physical pain, this book provides refreshing and inspirational insights that can help the reader appreciate how a so-called tragedy can actually be a blessing in disguise.
No Storm Lasts Forever offers insight into how to transform turmoil, disappointment, and suffering into understanding, insight, and resolve.
“Terry Gordon takes us into the middle of a father’s nightmare in an honest and unflinching testament to faith. His journey with his son Tyler is a reminder that we are always connected to a higher power and that connection provides us with an unlimited ability to find light amid dark times. Terry shows us how fear and uncertainty is no match for joy and positivity and we need not ever face our challenges alone.”
“No Storm Lasts Forever is both heartbreaking and triumphant. It is one father’s courageous account of personal tragedy — his son’s spinal cord injury and resultant paralysis. The reader’s initial response is one of compassion and empathy. As the story progresses, this turns into a sense of triumph as the author grows to accept what his God has ordained, making use of his sorrow to enter a new life of love and faith.”
“I was very moved by No Storm Lasts Forever. It’s so rare that a father, in the midst of such tragedy, can grow so fully and then write about it so clearly. His message that the worst suffering calls forth the most compassion is the central one to our human existence. The question isn’t about suffering. It’s how we walk through it, who we walk with, and who we walk for — in shared spirit. No Storm Lasts Forever is a fine book, written with heart and head, and teaches us the healing power of nature.”
“The arc of Terry Gordon’s once comfortable future was shattered in an instant. After a phone call left them only shards of their former life, the path he and his family have taken hovers between a cautionary tale and a clarion call. This is an American story worth your attention.”
“No Storm Lasts Forever will rekindle your belief in the human spirit. Terry Gordon and his amazing family show us how to thrive even against an immeasurable, seemingly unbeatable adversary.”
