Summary

Bruce Roger Matson is an educator of 28 years and his experiences include being a teacher, administrator, bus driver, and coach. He is also a stage 4 lymphoma survivor. Starting in January of 2014, he endured 18 sessions of chemo and eventually a month of radiation during the summer of 2018. He is now cancer free! During this very humbling time, he not only relied on his faith, but earnestly sought to learn and grow in his Christianity. The book he recently published is a by-product of his faith journey.
