I will admit it. I am a big fan of Kate Bowler. Her podcast, Everything Happens, keeps my mind occupied while I am at the gym. Her books can be found around my home as I turn to them for laughter and comfort. I love that in her books you see an honest view of God and life that isn’t sugar coated or harsh. It is real.
In this book, Kate Bowler walks us through her illness. This book isn’t easy, and it is beautiful. You will be cheering for her to beat the odds and survive her stage four cancer diagnosis. And maybe, like me, you will be thinking of loved ones who didn’t.
It ends with an appendix titled Cliches We Hear and Truths We Need. And I love every single one of them, so you should read the book just to get to page 201! My absolute favorite is “Everything is possible” which she changes to “Ask instead, what is possible today?” (pg 202).
I wonder what is possible for you today and how you will live into the knowledge that there is no cure for being human and God is with you on this journey!
