When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi - Reviewed by Rev. Casey Baggott of Community Church

What makes life worthwhile and meaningful when time is running short? Learn from the memoirs of a young neurosurgeon diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. When Breath Becomes Air is the New York Times bestselling memoir written by this neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi. Beautifully written, his work brilliant and compassionate.

“Devastating and spectacular . . . is so likeable, so relatable, and so humble, that you become immersed in his world and forget where it’s all heading.”—USA Today
