About

Whether we are afraid of the unknown, terrified of failure, panicked by parenting, or paralyzed with worry that we will make the wrong choice, fear shows up in all of our lives in big and small ways. And while nobody is fearless, there is a way to fear less.

In Life Beyond Fear, pastor Vernon Gordon confronts the fears that have hindered your life for far too long and shows you how to become exceedingly brave in a worry-filled world. Far from teaching mere theory, Vernon knows what it means to fear. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of bone cancer at just ten years old, he was launched into the fight of his life--not just against cancer but against the temptation to give in to fear. After fourteen surgeries and hundreds of sleepless nights, he learned the art of fearing less with Jesus. And that's exactly what he longs to teach you.

Fear can lose its power over you--starting today. Take the journey to face your fears and find your future.

Endorsements

"Through this book, Vernon will be a counselor and a coach for you. He'll show you how to overcome fear, not by relying on your own strength but by allowing Jesus to lead you, guide you, and protect you. Reading this book and putting these principles into practice will be a real blessing for you."

Tony Dungy, Super Bowl-winning player and coach, from the foreword

"I've had the honor of knowing Vernon for years, and I've witnessed firsthand the strength, resilience, and unwavering faith that have guided him through some of life's hardest moments. What I find most powerful about this book is how Vernon doesn't just share his story; he shows us how courage can help us conquer our own fears in a world filled with uncertainty. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. It's a lifeline for those seeking courage, healing, and the strength to live beyond fear."

Travis Greene, Grammy Award-winning artist; pastor, Forward City Church; author, Are You Praying for the Right Thing?

"There is no doubt that fear is inevitable. And that feeling is present in everything we do, every environment we are in, and every decision we make. Vernon helps us realize this is all normal. His book does a beautiful job teaching, guiding, and providing clarity on how to maneuver through the range of emotions that fear provokes. His transparency in his own growth as a leader and husband beautifully translates to how he wants us to choose joy over fear, and how bravery is something that we all are able to choose. Using the kingdom and faith as the foundation of how we live beyond fear makes this book easy to comprehend, digest, and practice in our own lives. This book is a game changer for any person grappling with life's curveballs and offers solutions to help us live more fulfilling, joyful lives."

Jay Ell Alexander, owner and CEO, The Vaughn Strategy and Black Girls RUN

If you've ever felt stuck or held back by fear, Vernon's words will equip you to take bold steps of faith. I'm grateful for his friendship and even more grateful that the world gets to experience his wisdom through this book!"

"I count it an honor to have walked through moments of fear in my life with my brother Vernon Gordon by my side. This book is not only timely but a gem that helps us learn to dance with our fear and celebrate its song as a barometer for growth and advancement in life's journey. As that journey continues, it's now a privilege to be able to walk with Vernon's words."

Joshua Boone, Tony, Grammy, and NAACP Image Award-nominated actor/singer

"Life Beyond Fear is more than a book; it's a testimony of God's faithfulness in the face of life's hardest battles. Vernon shares his journey with raw honesty, from surviving cancer and enduring surgeries to navigating deep disappointments. Through it all, he found unshakable courage in God's Word, and now he's inviting you to do the same. If fear has ever held you back, this book will remind you that you're never alone and that a life of bold faith and kingdom courage is waiting for you."
