My life was changed when my wife had to take chemotherapy. She didn't have cancer, but had experienced a molar pregnancy. This resulted in her having to go to M.D. Anderson in Houston, Texas to receive four weeks of treatment. I learned so much during that time. I saw how strong my wife really is. I realized that whoever walks into the doors of a cancer center to receive chemotherapy is stronger than anyone at the gym. I also came to understand just how long and draining the process is when receiving chemo. The patient has to drive to the center, park, sit in the waiting room, then actually receive treatment. Then the process starts over again the next day, week, and even months.This coloring book is designed to motivate those who are going through this difficult ordeal. I believe having a positive mindset is critical to health, recovery, and longevity. Even with receiving some kind of medical treatment, it's good for patients to have a positive outlook. I continue to be amazed at the inner strength of people who have fought with all of their heart for LIFE! I hope that for those who are in the process of receiving chemotherapy, this book will give you even more MOTIVATION to keep FIGHTING. You are STRONG. You ARE ABLE.This coloring book is really simple. You will go from A-Z in the alphabet. Everyday, you will color a positive phrase. This is designed to keep your thoughts positive throughout the process. You will color each phrase four times. Take your time and think about what you are coloring. Then believe it with all of your heart.THE GOALEarlier this year I created my first coloring book called, "Color Your Way To Success." It's currently available on www.amazon.com. This book has had great success and is motivating a lot of people. As I was thinking about creating another coloring book, a thought came into my mind. How could I help and inspire even more people? That's when I thought of my wife Nikki and what she had experienced. I decided then to make a coloring book for people going through chemo. I wish Nikki and I had this book during all the visits we had to M.D. Anderson.After thinking of this idea I also decided that I want to keep the cost of it as low as possible. I want to truly give to others without trying to make some kind of financial gain. While there is a cost to making this book, I'm not interested in earning money from it. Therefore, the price of this book is set at the minimum price it requires to make it. I'm keeping it at that price so patients might be able to use it and enjoy it.My goal is to get this coloring book in every cancer center in America. Then beyond! My hope and prayer is to create a campaign so that every person who has to take chemotherapy will be able to get one of these books for FREE! I know how expensive it is to receive chemo. This is the least I can do. So many people gave to Nikki and me as she endured her treatment. Now I want to do the same. In Acts 20:35 Jesus said, "...It is more blessed to give than to receive." Indeed it is!I'm so thankful for Luke Adams and Edify Media who assisted with this book. Luke does excellent work. He has a heart for helping others. I'm thankful for my beautiful wife who is so strong and who has shown me what true strength looks like.Most importantly, I am thankful to God!May God Bless You, - Benjamin Lee
