About the Author
Tom Stewart reveals how God sustained him through a decade of abuse, a life of adversity & how he forgave his abuser
“My purpose in life is to be an advocate for how faith in God can sustain us. I want to encourage those experiencing abuse not to allow evil to consume them, but to strive to understand the why, and overcome as victors instead of victims… I’ve learned forgiveness is what releases us and sets us free on the path to healing and freedom.”
About the Author
My name is Thomas Gregory Stewart. I live in the Seattle, WA area. I have a once-in-a-lifetime story of abuse and forgiveness that was written in memory of my younger son Benny who died of a heroin overdose in August 2014 at the age of 23. It is entitled “On Wings like Eagles” and was released on Amazon in September 2021 (see link below). It is an award-winning book endorsed by Josh McDowell.
My Testimonial
My brother Matt and I were sexually abused at gunpoint for a decade by our Boy Scout leader. We had one of the most important lawsuits in American history against the Boy Scouts that exposed secret “perversion files” that the Boy Scouts had hidden from the American public for 100 years. Nearly 100,000 Boy Scout abuse victims came forward in 2020 as a result of our landmark lawsuit. It is the ultimate Genesis 50:20 story whereby God turns evil into good for the saving of many lives all over the world.
Stewart is available for interviews and can provide exclusive and original content. Topics he can speak to include:

About the Book
Conditioned for compliance and desperate for affirmation from authority figures, Tom Stewart was an easy mark for a predator—his Boy Scout leader. The trauma of his stolen childhood follows him into the future, where he encounters more than his fair share of trials. Through it all, Tom clings to his unwavering faith. Rather than retreating into bitterness, Tom faces his past, proving that, even in the worst of circumstances, God can turn evil for good.
