Kate Bowler's memoir will make you sob and laugh in equal measure. It's a stunning look at how are lives can change in a moment and how we can help those in dark and difficult times. As an atheist, her insightful look at how her faith, both personally and academically, gave me new tools to engage with Christianity and spirituality and understand deeper truths behind the stories.

We had a big group come and there was plenty to talk about - faith and healing and expectations and grief. Really deep stuff. I like that the author doesn't force her views on the reader.
