The Story Behind The Stories

Dr. Gregory Gordon’s journey as an author is deeply rooted in a life of service, faith, and resilience. An optometrist by profession in Jasper, Indiana, he discovered his passion for storytelling early on, weaving narratives that reflect his experiences as a lay speaker across churches of all denominations since his college days. His path to authorship began with a divine nudge in 1976. He wrote a fictional story about deer hunting as an English class assignment. He was approached by IU staff asking him to sign release papers so the story would be held in the IU archives. This spart started a fire and desire to touch people with words. prompting him to write his first book, years later called FOOL CIRCLE. After years of sharing inspiring tales with congregations. A self-described motivator, Dr. Gordon’s works – including titles like GLIMPES OF GOD and THERE – are born from a desire to help others see Jesus in the commonplace, drawing from his own encounters with adversity, such as the when he broke his back or the loss of his father With a knack for blending humor, heart, and spiritual insight, he has authored 10 books , with several more in the wings, each a testament to his commitment to encouraging others through the power of story. “These days he turns down most speaking gigs.
