Everything Happens for a Reason
And Other Lies I’ve Loved
What does it mean to die in a society that insists everything happens for a reason? What happens if you view misfortune as God’s disapproval then find yourself diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer? At times surprisingly irreverent, this book documents how Kate Bowler, a Duke Divinity School professor, makes sense of the tragic and her hard-won observations on how facing dying can teach us how to live.
