When unexpected grief brings two families together, how do they start their journey to healing? Join Michael and Gina Spehn–bestselling authors and founders of the New Day Foundation–as they tell their story of resilience, remembrance, and reliance on their shared faith.
Matt Kell and Cathy Spehn had known each other since grade school. As adults, they each got married, lived in their hometown, and attended the same church. Their kids even attended school together.
Matt died at home on Christmas Day after a three-year battle with cancer, leaving behind his wife, Gina, and two young boys. After attending Matt’s inspirational funeral and reaching out to Gina with offers of support, Cathy was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. She died only 17 days later, leaving behind her husband, Michael, and three young children. In her final hours, Cathy instructed Michael to call Gina Kell.
The Color of Rain illuminates the stepping stones of loss and healing that ultimately led to a joyful new life for Michael, Gina, and their five children. Their path to becoming a modern-day Brady Bunch was paved with grief, laughter, and the willingness to be restored to a new and even better life despite the inevitable resistance they faced.
As you understand more about Michael and Gina’s story, you’ll learn:
- The importance of keeping God at the center of your relationships
- How to navigate becoming a blended family
- The life-changing power of faith, even on your darkest days
As you watch the Today Show interview, it reveals what it’s like to walk through loss and love simultaneously, you’ll have an intimate look at how Michael and Gina lived, lost, and ultimately persevered through extraordinary circumstances.
“Michael and Gina personify the beauty that God can bring out of the ashes of sorrow.”
“It’s so refreshing to hear people giving glory to God, even through trials and adversity. I’m sure it’s not the story either of them would have written for themselves, but it’s a beautiful story – and one I’d definitely recommend for anyone to read!”
“Michael and Gina Spehn’s The Color of Rain is not only an instant bestseller but also an instant classic, certain to be pressed into the hands of hundreds of thousands of grieving men and women by their closest friends, for it is a book that is painfully honest about the depths of sorrow but also full of the joy of the hard path back from near despair. It is another reminder that God is there, however dark the day, and that he will comfort those who call on him.”
“Their story is so powerful you will change how you think about life and how you go about your daily living.”
“This is an inspiring story for any who have gone through a season of personal loss.”
