Everything Happens For A Reason And Other Lies I've Loved by Kate Bowler
2.0
I happened to pick up this book cause I found it in Bill Gates it Obama’s reading list. It’s about a 35-year old theology professor, Kate Bowler. Her life seems to be a smooth sailing experience until she was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. She started to wonder how to live when knowing she is having near death experience. What does is mean to die in a society that insists everything happens for a reason.
It was a slow read. I like reading a few of the chapters but it wasn’t a good ride. I felt this is quite a bit dull. At first I thought, non-fiction are not my cup of tea. But I like reading The Last Lecture and When Breath Becomes Air. They were about fighting cancer, too. I’m not sure why. Perhaps a bit too much religious stuff in it is one of the key reasons I had kept putting the book down. It might be just my mood and perception but I can only give it two stars.
