Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I've Loved by Kate Bowler

Everything Happens for a Reason by Kate Bowler reflects on a cancer diagnosis that unsettled her assumptions about faith and control. A scholar of the prosperity gospel, she examines the pressure to find an explanation for suffering while describing family, friendship and medical care.

Published by Random House Trade Paperbacks, this candid memoir combines humor with uncertainty. It questions easy assurances rather than claiming that illness can be overcome through positive thinking.
