- Bite-sized essays perfect for group talk
- Mortality replaces dogma as the teacher
- Woman's voice, pastoral & unflinchingly real
If Rachel Held Evans taught you that doubt doesn't disqualify you from the table, Kate Bowler sets a place for you there—pulling up a chair to explore what faithful living looks like when certainty evaporates and platitudes fail. Her voice carries the same wry, confessional cadence you loved in Braving the Truth, pairing memoir with theology in short, aching essays that never preach but always land.
Bowler names the grief and absurdity of living under hard realities—stage IV cancer, shattered timelines, toxic positivity from well-meaning strangers—with humor that doesn't minimize and pastoral steadiness that refuses to rage-bait.
This is theology for people who need hope without the lying—pick it up.
