“Everybody pretends that you only die once. But that’s not true. You can die to a thousand possible futures in the course of a single, stupid life.”

Kate Bowler’s new book, No Cure for Being Human (And Other Truths I Need to Hear) – a follow-up to her Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I’ve Loved) – is honest, funny, heart-breaking, and faith-filled. In it, the author explores what it means to create a life of meaning and joy that also acknowledges our limits (her limits came in the form of a stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis at age 35). Ultimately hopeful, but with a relatable cynicism throughout, this book will encourage rich conversations about what makes a good life; what it means to be “yourself” when everything changes, without your permission; the gifts that come not because of tragedy, but sometimes alongside it; and the courage it takes any of us to live each day.
