Unconditional Love
In 2000,
Sean and Debbie Haines received the hardest news a parent could hear. Their
three-year-old son Matthew was diagnosed with leukemia. In Matthew-Gift from
God: A Life of Unconditional Love, Sean shares the story of how his son
bravely fought the disease. Though the cancer finally defeated him in early
2005, it never touched his compassion, fighting spirit, and determination.
Through Sean’s email updates to his inner circle, the reader is taken into the
heart of a father’s struggle to have his son life his life to the fullest in
spite of the cancer. Striving to find hope through every devastating setback.
And finally, coming to grips with the fact the cancer has won and his son has
been given a “life sentence.” This story is about a father’s determination to
fill every last minute, every last second of his son’s remaining life with
love, compassion, and dignity. Matthew-Gift from God: A Life of
Unconditional Love is sure to touch the heart of every reader and inspire
them in the battles they face on their own journey.
