很好读的一本书,几个小时就能读完。关于疾病、死亡和信仰。对于宗教的讨论很平实,问出了许多我的疑惑,但这些疑惑其实不需要答案,宗教或者说人生本来的意义,就是不断体验不断寻找答案的过程。读者来信那里,最震撼的是那一句My problem is opposite to yours. I’m struggling with the idea that I’m still alive. 还有作者自己说的那一句 my problems can’t be solved by cliches. I’m going to die, but not today.

评分Treasure every day just like it was the last one,thank you,life????
评分全书写得非常杂乱,东一块西一块的,不太好读。最后的两个附录是亮点:1. 朋友患绝症时,问什么问题会惹恼人家;2. 问什么问题才是合适的。很有共鸣的一点是,很多人尝试为你的绝症找一个原因,好像他们说的就是真的。可并不是这样的!第一无法证实,第二信口开河。当别人生病时,不要随便给人家安一个原因。
评分In the face of death at a young age, with a small child, one has so much to make sense to that it is sometimes difficult to come through
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A meditation on sense-making when there’s no sense to be made, on letting go when we can’t hold on, and on being unafraid even when we’re terrified.”—Lucy Kalanithi
This unforgettable memoir is a powerful graduation gift for med school students and a must read for doctors and nurses looking to empathize with their patients.
Kate Bowler is a professor at Duke Divinity School with a modest Christian upbringing, but she specializes in the study of the prosperity gospel, a creed that sees fortune as a blessing from God and misfortune as a mark of God’s disapproval. At thirty-five, everything in her life seems to point toward “blessing.” She is thriving in her job, married to her high school sweetheart, and loves life with her newborn son.
Then she is diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer.
The prospect of her own mortality forces Kate to realize that she has been tacitly subscribing to the prosperity gospel, living with the conviction that she can control the shape of her life with “a surge of determination.” Even as this type of Christianity celebrates the American can-do spirit, it implies that if you “can’t do” and succumb to illness or misfortune, you are a failure. Kate is very sick, and no amount of positive thinking will shrink her tumors. What does it mean to die, she wonders, in a society that insists everything happens for a reason? Kate is stripped of this certainty only to discover that without it, life is hard but beautiful in a way it never has been before.
Frank and funny, dark and wise, Kate Bowler pulls the reader deeply into her life in an account she populates affectionately with a colorful, often hilarious retinue of friends, mega-church preachers, relatives, and doctors. Everything Happens for a Reason tells her story, offering up her irreverent, hard-won observations on dying and the ways it has taught her to live.
Praise for Everything Happens for a Reason
“I fell hard and fast for Kate Bowler. Her writing is naked, elegant, and gripping—she’s like a Christian Joan Didion. I left Kate’s story feeling more present, more grateful, and a hell of a lot less alone. And what else is art for?”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and president of Together Rising
“This is a beautifully written, intelligent, soulful book, necessary reading for all of us who long to walk faithfully and honestly through the darkest and most desolate of seasons.”—Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author of Present Over Perfect
