What's Next, Papa? a Story of Cancer That Awakened Hope and Brought Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462053285)

At first glance, this is the story of a middle-class family living in a small town in middle America. Author S. R. Roix's children were growing up well, his wife had a secure job that she enjoyed, and he worked in a trade at which he excelled. Life was good; they had no complaints-until the day it all began to unravel. When his beloved wife, the mother of their four children, was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma at the age of thirty-eight, everything changed. Sixteen months later, she lost her battle. Even in heartbreak and grief, Roix learned to have complete trust in the one who loves him the most-his "Papa" God. Out of the ruins of his life grew an unquenchable thirst to know who God was, and, in the process, Roix also came to learn who he was. What he learned on his journey is that hope triumphs over every obstacle. He learned that in faith, there is no amount of suffering that cannot be overcome by the amazing love God is willing to pour out. This is their story, and it can also be yours. Whatever challenges you face-grief, rejection, fear, financial ruin, abuse, and more-there is hope. His deep wish for you is to experience how close your "Papa" is, even in the darkest night. There is life after heartache. There is a reason to live. There is always hope.
