There is a reason for everything... and another lie that I loved. Bowler K.

Kate Bowler - professor of the Duke Theology School - studied the Gospel of Prosperity, which considers luck as a blessing, and misfortune as a sign of God's disapproval. At thirty -five, everything in her life indicates a “blessing”. She succeeds in work, married to her school lover and rejoices at every day with a newborn son.

Then she diagnoses the cancer of the colon of the 4th stage. She always lived with the conviction that she could control her fate with an effort of will. If you “do not cope” and give a disease or adversity, you are a loser. And Kate is very sick, and no positive thinking will reduce its tumors. She asks the question: what does it mean to die in a society that insists that everything happens for a reason? Kate loses this confidence only to find that life is difficult without it, but beautiful as never before.

The frank, gloomy and wise Kate Bowler deeply involves the reader in his life in the book, which She lovingly fills the colorful, often cheerful retinue of friends, church preachers, relatives and doctors. Here is the disrespectful, with difficulty observing Kate about death and how she taught her to live.
