He Chose Joy!: The Story of Matthew Metcalf

"'God, this just doesn't make any sense!' 'God, how can you let this happen?' Have you ever silently thought something like that to yourself-or maybe even said it out loud? Dan and Sue Metcalf have. They know the deepest pain that life in a broken world can bring. Their beloved son, Matthew, was diagnosed with cancer. Surely he would get better. But he didn't. They realized the deepest pain a human being can ever know-the loss of their son. But through Matthew's courageous battle, they realized something else-God's sufficiency. Through the loss of their son they also realized great gain-God's abundant mercy. This book is their story. It's Mathew's story. But it is also God's story. It's a story of God's grace and a story of God's sufficiency. It's about the discovery that God really is enough."


-Phil Hopper, pastor of Abundant Life Baptist Church
