Twitch and Shout, Hallelujah, Amen: Poems of Love, Forgiveness, and Living with Tourette's Syndrome - Paperback

by Gregory John Nashif (Author), Scott Waters (Foreword by)

Living with Tourette syndrome is not an easy adventure. Growing up in an age of ignorance for this disease caused turmoil, anguish, and hardship, to say the least. Through poetry, the author tried to capture the emotion and passion connected with this disorder, to help bring about an understanding of what Tourette syndrome is about, and that the path to freedom goes through the cross of Jesus Christ. May those who read be surely blessed.

Author Biography

Gregory John Nashif was not diagnosed with Tourette syndrome until he was twenty-nine, when his mom sent him an article she read in a magazine. He is now sixty-seven. His journey with Tourette syndrome has been long and sometimes bitter, but he had a friend who made the difference. His name is Jesus Christ--through him, the author learned to forgive, laugh, and experience joy. Nashif does not have a degree. He is not a psychologist. He is merely a person writing from his own experience.
