Book Review: Days Like These by Kristian & Rachel Anderson

This book was an eye-opener for what people with cancer have to go through while fighting the battle of this evil monster. In Days Like These, Kristian Anderson documents his journey of being terminally ill. His wife, Rachel, has also added parts to the book to go along with his blog posts. The reader will laugh and cry along with Kristian and his family as they share the struggles of what cancer does to an individual and family. Kristian described things that cancer patients have to go through that I never knew they had to endure. While these things were hard to read, I liked the way Kristian always kept God at the center of everything he did. He stayed true to his faith and let it shine through in his life. Many people have seen his You Tube video that went viral! It was made as a present for his wife's 35th birtday. The book contains several places where one can use a smartphone to scan links to watch video clips by Kristian. I would recommend this book to people who have loved ones fighting the battle of cancer. It will open your eyes and inspire you to see the good in times when it seems that just can't be possible. I received a complimentary copy of this book from BookSneeze to read and review. All opinions expressed are my own.
