Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 “Belongs on the shelf alongside other terrific books about this difficult subject, like Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air and Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal.”—Bill Gates NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE 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

Kate is a hard-working entrepreneur living in the beautiful English coastal town of Hollywell, and life is good. That is until her life and town is turned upside down by the American movie being filmed on Hollywell’s picturesque beaches, and with the production comes the actor and philander Jake Davis. When sparks fly between the two, after a day exploring the famous Hollywell caves, will Kate be able to trust Jake’s intentions, coupled with her own insecurities and believe that their growing feelings are real. When Jake goes back to America, after declaring his love to Kate, but disappears, will Kate follow her heart or her head to seek the truth she desperately needs. When your heart and head are not in tune, which way will you go to find the answers? All I’ll Ever Need is a passionate and heart-warming story, about finding love and taking chances.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I’ve Loved) asks, how do you move forward with a life you didn’t choose? “Kate Bowler is the only one we can trust to tell us the truth.”—Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed It’s hard to give up on the feeling that the life you really want is just out of reach. A beach body by summer. A trip to Disneyland around the corner. A promotion on the horizon. Everyone wants to believe that they are headed toward good, better, best. But what happens when the life you hoped for is put on hold indefinitely? Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices, until she discovered, at age thirty-five, that her body was wracked with cancer. In No Cure for Being Human, she searches for a way forward as she mines the wisdom (and absurdity) of today’s “best life now” advice industry, which insists on exhausting positivity and on trying to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn, and out-perform our humanness. We are, she finds, as fragile as the day we were born. With dry wit and unflinching honesty, Kate Bowler grapples with her diagnosis, her ambition, and her faith as she tries to come to terms with her limitations in a culture that says anything is possible. She finds that we need one another if we’re going to tell the truth: Life is beautiful and terrible, full of hope and despair and everything in between—and there’s no cure for being human.

Book excerpt: The Leamey’s is an epic story of hardship, devotion and love of an Irish family living in Doonas Ireland in the 1840s, where they are taken to the depths of despair, separated by hardship and starvation during the potato famine and overcoming immense tragedy which split the family to three Continents on a journey so incredible it test the souls to breaking point, where hope and determination creates great triumphs of the human spirit. Brian Leamey is very angry but worried for his family when he’s convicted of assaulting a Police Officer. His beloved wife and family are devastated when he is sentenced to ten years on a wretched penal colony on the infamous Van Diemans land. He is transported almost immediately. His wife Kate is now left to bring up their children alone, Patrick, Katherine and Tomas. Lonely and desperate Kate struggles to survive, and when the devastation of the potato famine hits Ireland starvation and disease follows. Meanwhile, on Van Deamans Land Brian is forced to hard labour where his tormentors inform him of the tragedy currently sweeping Ireland, Brian is horror-stricken, but can do nothing. His young family are suffering at the mercy of the famine he is just devastated and doesn’t know what to do. Seeing her family suffering Kate confides in the oldest boy Patrick that he must fend for himself now and find a new life, he must get out of Ireland, and he must find his own path of survival. Kate arranges Patrick’s transportation to America with his Uncle and Aunty along with thousands more Irish people. It is hard for her but she does it out of love. Patrick is taken on a sweeping journey across America, all the while having one focus, to have his family reunited. He must make it to Van Diemans land to find his father. He must. So begins Patrick’s amazing heartfelt journey across America in a land that tests his conviction, a tumultuous land of violence, poverty and fortune, where bare-knuckle fighting can lead to regaled opportunities, a time of the gold rush, and the mania of staking a claim among ruthless and desperate criminals. The Leamey’s adventure is a breathless tale of one man’s brutal survival, and another man who never loses hope that his dreams just may come true.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A compassionate, intelligent, and wry series of Christian daily reflections on learning to live with imperfection in a culture of self-help that promotes endless progress, from the author of Everything Happens for a Reason and the executive producer of the Everything Happens podcast “Brilliant, hilarious, absurd, honest, hopeful, true-hearted, and good to the core.”—Sarah Bessey, editor of A Rhythm of Prayer and author of Jesus Feminist In Kate Bowler’s bestselling memoir Everything Happens for a Reason, readers witnessed the ways she, as a divinity-school professor and young mother, reckoned with a Stage IV cancer diagnosis; in her follow-up memoir, No Cure for Being Human, she unflinchingly and winsomely unpacked the ways that life becomes both hard and beautiful when we abandon certainty and the illusion of control in our lives. Now, in their first-ever devotional book, Kate Bowler and co-author Jessica Richie offer 40ish short spiritual reflections on how we can make sense of life not as a pursuit of endless progress but as a chronic condition. This book is a companion for when you want to stop feeling guilty that you’re not living your best life now. Written gently and with humor, Good Enough is permission for all those who need to hear that there are some things you can fix—and some things you can’t. And it’s okay that life isn’t always better. In these gorgeously written reflections, Bowler and Richie offer fresh imagination for how truth, beauty, and meaning can be discovered amid the chaos of life. Their words celebrate kindness, honesty, and interdependence in a culture that rewards ruthless individualism and blind optimism. Ultimately, in these pages we can rest in the encouragement to strive for what is possible today—while recognizing that though we are finite, the life in front of us can be beautiful.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book: A novel spanning two decades in the lives of an African American family as their upstate New York steel town slowly decays. Set just outside Buffalo, New York, during the 1960s and ’70s, All-Bright Court paints a portrait of the Taylor family—starting with hopeful dreams as Samuel Taylor and his wife, Mary Kate, migrate from the South looking for better opportunities and a place to raise a family, and continuing through the decline of the steel industry as they, their five children, and their neighbors on All-Bright Court struggle with both new challenges and old prejudices. “In a clear, quiet but powerful prose reminiscent of Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio, the author draws the gaudily painted, rundown bungalows of All-Bright Court and peoples it convincingly. . . . The working conditions in the steel mills and the politics of the union hall are well rendered, but it is in the details of family life that the novel comes alive.” —Kirkus Reviews “Porter has mapped a rich fictional world. . . . This is a powerful and affecting debut.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “An honest portrayal of folks who learned that the dream of economic freedom wasn’t waiting for them ‘up north.’” —Terry McMillan, New York Times–bestselling author of I Almost Forgot About You

Book excerpt: Kate Cunningham is a business woman; she is also a widow, and she is very wealthy. She is an equal partner in Western Australia's largest travel agency, Travwest. However, she has suffered a series of catastrophic events in recent years, which have taken their emotional toll and altered her life forever. She is flying her own light aeroplane, a Cessna 210, from Sydney to Perth, an unremarkable feat, as it's done by many pilots many times a week. The flight takes about three days. The trip is uneventful from Sydney, New South Wales to Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. At Kalgoorlie Airport, she refuels and departs on the last 600 kilometres to Jandakot Airport, just south of Perth. However, she is directed to land at Perth Airport, where she is taken into custody and told she has been missing for twelve months. Utter disbelief, frustration, and anger follow when she is told that the Federal Police, Customs and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority are pressing various criminal charges that include drug running and people smuggling. However, Kate's lifelong friend from her schooldays, Lauren Gordon, does not believe that she has committed any crime. She has another view which is equally unbelievable, but proves to be astonishingly true! Convincing Kate to pursue her wild idea, she and Lauren set out to find the truth.

Book excerpt: Celebrated transsexual trailblazer Kate Bornstein has, with more humor and spunk than any other, ushered us into a world of limitless possibility through a daring re-envisionment of the gender system as we know it. Here, Bornstein bravely and wittily shares personal and unorthodox methods of survival in an often cruel world. A one-of-a-kind guide to staying alive outside the box, Hello, Cruel World is a much-needed unconventional approach to life for those who want to stay on the edge, but alive. Hello, Cruel World features a catalog of 101 alternatives to suicide that range from the playful (moisturize!), to the irreverent (shatter some family values), to the highly controversial. Designed to encourage readers to give themselves permission to unleash their hearts' harmless desires, the book has only one directive: "Don't be mean." It is this guiding principle that brings its reader on a self-validating journey, which forges wholly new paths toward a resounding decision to choose life. Tenderly intimate and unapologetically edgy, Kate Bornstein is the radical role model, the affectionate best friend, and the guiding mentor all in one.

But when Adam, Kate’s best friend from high school, arrives for a visit, her perfect arrangement suddenly isn’t so perfect anymore. The nerdy boy she remembers from her teen years has grown into a gorgeous and successful man, and he’s vying for her affection and touching her guarded heart in ways she never expected. Her eminently practical marriage of convenience is starting to feel very inconvenient . . .

Book excerpt: An “extremely funny...brilliantly alive” (The New York Times Book Review) social satire of the highest order from bestselling author Sam Lipsyte, centered around an unwitting mindfulness guru and the phenomenon he initiates. In an America convulsed by political upheaval, cultural discord, environmental catastrophe, and spiritual confusion, so many of us find ourselves anxious and distracted, searching desperately for peace, salvation, and—perhaps most immediately—just a little damn focus. Enter Hark Morner, a failed stand-up comic turned mindfulness guru whose revolutionary program is set to captivate the masses. But for Fraz and Tovah, a middle-aged couple slogging through a very rough patch, it may take more than the tenets of Hark’s “Mental Archery” to solve the riddles of love, lust, work, and parenthood on the eve of civilizational collapse. And given the sudden power of certain fringe players, including a renegade Ivy League ethicist, a gentle Swedish kidnapper, a social media tycoon with an empire on the skids, and a mysteriously influential (but undeniably slimy) catfish, it just might be too late. But what’s the point of a world, even a blasted-out post-apocalyptic world, if they don’t try with all their might to keep their marriage alive? In this “awfully funny...tartly effective sendup of 21st-century America” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis) Sam Lipsyte reaches new peaks of daring in a novel that revels in contemporary absurdity and the wild poetry of everyday language while exploring the emotional truths of his characters. “Recommended reading” (Vanity Fair), in which “every line feels as thrillingly charged as a live wire” (O, The Oprah Magazine), Hark is a smart, incisive look at men, women, and children seeking meaning and dignity in a chaotic, ridiculous, and often dangerous world.
