Summary
In today’s episode, we review the book No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler. So many of us here have reading goals, so we review a book together once a quarter to help us make progress on our reading goals, read together in community, and learn from great books. Through this book review, we explore the depths of Kate’s learnings as she discovers she has cancer. We review some of our favorite quotes, things we learned and will take away, and applications from this book with all of you. This book was a heavy one, but truly, it instilled what we know already to be true. We are living for a capital L legacy, and our days are numbered. So what we decide to cultivate matters deeply, so live your one beautiful and precious life today, friends.
