Always be a first rate version of yourself...: Doctors

What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Even when it is a collection by the same author, but this wasn't the case with this book or Meet Cute, so maybe that bodes well for all of the short story collections that 2018 will bring my way! Lots of great sermon illustrations in here, too!

These stories are fictional (which I just learned here!) but based on true events. Dr. Green has written an incredible book here. There are sixteen short stories and I found every one to be top notch. So

One of those books

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanaithi will always, always stay with me. What an incredible book. The best book I have read this year. The afterward, written by his wife, Lucy is so powerful as well.
This is a must read for everyone. Not just people of faith, but definitely for people of faith. Not just for people who are afraid of death, but definitely for people for are. Just a fantastic, fantastic book. I look forward to meeting Dr. Paul on the other side of the Jordan.
