The next Book Club session will be Wednesday, May 28, 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., at Norway Grove Memorial. May’s book choice is Everything Happens For a Reason And Other Lies I’ve Loved by Kate Bowler.
Summary
In this heartfelt and unexpectedly uplifting memoir, Kate Bowler—a professor, young mother, and person of faith—grapples with a stage IV cancer diagnosis that upends everything she thought she knew about life’s fairness. With warmth, honesty, and wit, she explores the limits of certainty and the beauty that can emerge from life’s most difficult moments. Rather than offering easy answers, Bowler invites readers to join her in finding grace, humor, and hope amid uncertainty. Her reflections offer a powerful reminder that even when life doesn’t go as planned, love and meaning can still shine through.
