A very good book. Will make you cry. It is the true story of Chris and Stefanie Spielman. They were high school sweethearts. Some of the book covers his career in the NFL. More importantly it details out how he learned to really walk with God and live as a devoted Christian putting Christ first, family second and football third. Fabulous testimony of faith especially in light of dealing with his wife's cancer. When she was diagnosed, he put his career on hold and took a year off playing football to be Mr. Mom -- to do all the things she normally did so she could just focus on her treatments and recovery.
Throughout her ordeal, Stefanie never once lamented that she had cancer. Never bemoaned it or got angry at God. Throughout the entire thing she felt she had been given so many blessings. (As the title of the book indicates) She felt it was why she was here --- to inspire others, to give others going through breast cancer hope. Cancer has touched so many - this is really a wonderful book - and a great testimony. Chris and Stefanie are very special people and I feel better for having shared in their journey through reading their story.
