Hope Remains: Seeing the Goodness of God in the Shadow of Suffering

What would you do if the unthinkable happened?

Where would you find the strength to endure?

The Gordon family was confronted with that very challenge when their five-year-old son, Sawyer, known for his big blue eyes and vivacious spirit, cheerfully pedaled his bike onto their busy road. Moments later, a distracted driver, someone the family knew, stood over the motionless child-the unthinkable had happened.

Part memoir, part Christian apologetic, Hope Remains is much more than a self-help book on grief. It is a transparent story of loss, love, forgiveness, and the unshakeable goodness of God. Colored with humor and stories that make you feel as if you're engrossed in a fireside chat, Hope Remains sends the message that shattered hearts don't have to mean shattered hope.

Reppard and Summer Gordon have been married for 15 years and have three children. They reside in North Port, Florida, where Reppard serves in the financial services industry and Summer spends her days homeschooling her children and teaching infant survival swimming. It is their prayer that their testimony would point others to the assurance, hope, and fulfillment that is only found in Jesus.
