Synopsis:
I had a nightmare last night.
I’d been crying out for help,
BUT NO ONE HEARD MY SILENT SCREAMS.

Through a health crisis, broken relationships, and the tragic loss of a son, Tom clings to his unwavering faith. When a landmark lawsuit sets him on the long road to forgiveness and healing, Tom begins to see God’s purpose for his pain. Rather than retreating into bitterness, Tom faces life’s storms head-on, even in the worst of circumstances. God can turn evil for good.
In his heartrending memoir, Tom delivers a message of hope in the face of unthinkable hurt. On Wings Like Eagles is a story of perseverance and the power of forgiveness, reminding us that by the grace of God, it is possible to rise above our brokenness.
