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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten gently and with humor, \u003ci\u003eGood Enough\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Bowler, Jessica Richie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Convergent Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.85h x 5.44w x 1.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593193686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Bowler\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling of \u003ci\u003eEverything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I've Loved)\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNo Cure for Being Human (And Other Truths I Need to Hear), \u003c\/i\u003e as well as \u003ci\u003eBlessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Preacher's Wife: The Precarious Power of Evangelical Women Celebrities\u003c\/i\u003e.
