Requests:  0 Summary:  Thirty-five-year-old Kate Bowler was a professor at the School of Divinity at Duke, and had finally had a baby with her childhood sweetheart after years of trying, when she began to feel jabbing pains in her stomach. She lost thirty pounds, chugged antacid, and visited doctors for three months before she was finally diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. As she navigates the aftermath of her diagnosis, Kate pulls the reader deeply into her life, which is populated with a colorful, often hilarious collection of friends, pastors, parents, and doctors, and shares her reflections on faith, friendship, love, and death. She wonders why suffering makes her feel like a loser and explores the burden of positivity. Trying to relish the time she still has with her son and husband, she realizes she must change her habit of skipping to the end and planning the next move. A historian of the "American prosperity gospel" -- the creed of the mega-churches that promises believers a cure for tragedy, if they just want it badly enough -- Bowler finds that, in the wake of her diagnosis, she craves these same "outrageous certainties." She wants to know why it's so hard to surrender control over that which you have no control. She contends with the terrifying fact that, even for her husband and child, she is not the lynchpin of existence, and that even without her, life will go on.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Bowler Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.19699 Bowler Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Bowler Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Bowler Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Bowler Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Bowler Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Bowler Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Bowler Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
