This was touching and thoughtful but not for me. It was kind of hard to follow on audio

Kate Bowler’s thoughtful book about her experience with Stage IV colon cancer. It is short, and it is not particularly well organized, but it is sometimes funny, often heartbreaking, always honest. And it grapples with the same questions I would be asking if I were in her situation—the questions that I DO ask about the two dear friends I’ve lost to cancer. The questions anyone would ask. Bowler is a professor at Duke divinity school and her specialty is research into the prosperity gospel, so she has some interesting insights into the typical responses that people have to tragedy. Especially helpful are the two lists at the end- one of things NOT to say to someone with cancer, and one of things TO say/do. Loved it.
