A Book Review - Days Like These Even In The Darkest Moments, Light Can Shine Through By Kristian & Rachel Anderson


Days Like These Even In The Darkest Moments, Light Can Shine Through
By Kristian & Rachel Anderson
This is a wonderful story of Kristian Anderson and his journey of living with cancer.  This is a story of hope.  He wanted to leave a legacy for his children so documented his journey from his diagnosis until his death.  He created a video to tell his wife how much he loved her on her birthday and it went viral on youtube.  Even Oprah saw it and invited them to appear on her show.  She helped provide the funds for their vacation of a lifetime – visiting the US and taking the family to Disney World.  His story gives hope even in the midst of extreme suffering.
This was a little difficult to read with all of the raw emotions that came through his blog posts as well as the additions written by his wife.  However, it tells of his amazing journey and his relationship to God through all of it.   It took me a few days to even be able to write a review.  But I was inspired and my faith increased through reading this book.  This book is not for everyone, but it could be the perfect read for the right person at a difficult time in life.
I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
