ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Everything Happens for a Reason And Other Lies I've Loved" by Kate Bowler, shares the author's journey after being diagnosed with stage IV cancer. The book challenges the idea that everything happens for a reason, as Bowler grapples with her diagnosis and confronts the inadequate promises of the prosperity gospel.

The story explores themes of certainty, faith, and the struggle to find meaning in suffering. Bowler is driven to catalog everything and wring every bit of time for all it’s worth. Throughout her journey, she finds solace in human connection, particularly with her husband, son, and friends, while learning to appreciate the ordinary moments of life. She accepts the uncertainty of her situation and embraces the beauty and fragility of life.
