Av Adam J.T. Robarts with Karen Malmqvist and Lou Aronica
"Nineteen is a powerful, inspiring story of a young man diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, written posthumously by his devoted father. Having lived through a time of worldwide loss, Nineteen redefines the meaning of loss and suffering in a beautiful and uplifting way. What can we learn from a young life beautifully lived, especially when that life is put to the ultimate test? What truths are meant to flourish long after any one individual stops walking this earth? Nineteen is a book of profound reflections on such questions, based on a true story of Haydn Robarts. Reminiscent of The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, this powerfully emotive book explores lessons on acceptance, faith, hope, trust, and accompaniment, to name a few, and draws on science, religion, and philosophy. It inspires a thought-provoking approach to living with awareness, conscious choice, purpose and creating joy. Readers will emerge moved by a remarkable young man who became more remarkable through his suffering whilst being amazed at the possibilities for their own lives"--
